You should add up the Metascores of each game to see who had the greatest super Metascore and better average Metascore.

I personally "add up the A".

AAA (90+) = 3 points. AA (80-89) = 2 points. A (70-79)= 1 point.

This is to prevent people from using multiple games in the 70s to justify lacking games in higher brackets. 

360 - 38 "A"

PS3 - 36 "A"

It really was a close race this year.

I counted (25) games on PS3 over 70 Meta and (24) on XBox360 over 70 Meta in your OP.


Time for a thread title change.

 

 

Edit - NVM, just noticed for this instance you changed the normal rule of "Only 70+ Meta counts" to "Only 70+ Meta counts but 360 wins due to having more 80+". According to your rules shouldn't the PS3 edge out the 360 by having more "non-shovelware" titles?

Anyways, this really shows how much of a strength XBLA is.

That example was more rooted in sales, with the idea to see sales of what we would call "quality" offerings. This is purely score based. Please see above rationale. Sorry if you cant keep up. I seriously operated this way for years.

Bad year overall for me. But I been poor so I guess I have not even bought any game that was a 2012 release.

This isn't fair. For example, a game with an 80 Metascore would contribute double the points of a game with a 79 Metascore. It should not be this way. An 80 is only one increment better than a 79, and thus should contribue only one more point.

Pretty much this. My money just wasn't there... I guess I had a hole in my wallet.

Curious as to why you took the PS Vita score for Motorstorm: RC, when the average of the PS3 scores would move it into the 80-90 bracket.



Call of Duty More Popular Than Halo

No, it's hard to keep up when everything has a different set of rules.

 

 

Anyways, Pool Nation is a 79, so the "score" is now 37 vs 36 in favor of the 360.

You also forgot Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection for PS3 which is sitting at a 70.

So, what do you know? It's tied now at 37 vs 37. Time for a thread title change.





iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Tuff luck to the 79 and 89 I say. It affects both sides.
