While metacritic makes for a cool graphic and gives us a general idea it's far from accurate, it remains acrurate up until a certain point from what I can find around the PS3/360 there must be digital games that aren't being counted.

Over 10,000 games were released for ps4. 171,000 people from 8,000 developers.https://www.mobygames.com/platform/playstation-4/ 6,000 more than PS2 seemingly accurate figure

Nintendo Switch has near 11,500 games.https://www.mobygames.com/platform/switch/

2,700 so far on ps5.https://www.mobygames.com/platform/playstation-5/

While Xbox SXS figures are difficult to find.

Eh, I think Moby counts variants. Cover changes and regional versions. PS2 has 4k games and Switch is nearing 5k. Switch does have the most games of any console ever made. Wikipedia is more trustworthy on numbers.

You either count all games or don't bother. A game is a game and there's a lot of movie tie in games on the older generations which are little more than shovelware if that's an issue. I think it's digital games that Moby is counting and Wiki is not counting them in full. You can go to PSN right now, all games and I bet you'll be at 3,800 before you're half way down the list. Hell go to the store here and see. 9770 listed on this regional store https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/pages/browse 9991 games on another store. Far closer to Mobys numbers.
