Note all game scores from game rankings

PS3 games = 14

360 games = 14

Wii games = 5

Games that sold over 3 million (sku) = 19/34

Games that sold over 5 milliom (sku) = 11/34

Games that sold over 10 million (sku) = 3/34

So do you think scores have an infulence on game sales?

And RDR, being a little worse game in PS3, has a higher meta and it's at the 10th pos.



Did Portal 2 (PS3) really not make the list?  Or does it just not have enough reviews yet?

Not enough reviews.

If it weren't for VGC's review of GTAIV it would be first lol

I remember it going down when VGC joined Gamerankings.

damn I loved GTA 4. It got a 98 without VGC and some other sites.



Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect are separated nearly 1 point (.75).

but they have the same score on meta, i wonder if it would separated like that on meta, but since it doesnt do decimals, the rounding makes them tied?

uncharted does have a ton more perfects scores, and the lowest ME2 scores are lower than UC2's lowest (on meta)

On Metacritic, reviews from big and important publications are awarded a bigger weight in the aggregated score. I don't think Gamerankings work that way.



Exclusive titles on the list:

PS3 - 5

Wii - 4

X360 - 2

I don't think high scores sell games. Good games sell themselves, and also happen to get high scores.
