Oyvoyvoyv said: The problem with this, is that all the sources Gamerankings have are AMERICAN. 75% of the reviews are American, 20 % Japaneese and 5 % European. GR doesn't count Japaneese, so it's 93 % American reviews and 7 % European. Since 360 is a much more liked console in USA, it will of course win. I am NOT saying that Wii/Ps3 has better games (even though for me, they are) but that Gamerankings isn't objective, beacause NO reviewer is objective, and EVERYONE is nationalistic (is this a word in English?) in some way.

 Thats not true. Loads of americans on here slagging off their own products. They praise Sony and the PS3 and cuss their home grown talent MS

Its interesting that the same game released on both XBox 360/PS3, scores a higher average on XBox 360. Well according to those figures the XBox 360 has 34 games with an average over 85%, compared to the PS3 has 14 games with an average over 85%. How many games on the Wii have an average over 85%?

I think it's fairly clear that the 360 has a superior library at this point in time.

On the other hand, all 3 of its top 3 games are First Person Shooters, and 6 of its top 10 are shooters (7 if you count Mass Effect, which is more an RPG). If you aren't a fan of shooters (or in my case, shooters with a game pad), then the value of the library drops dramatically. Both the PS3 and particularly the Wii have greater variety in their top 10 games.

Thank you sir for laying the smack down. Seriously for those trying to spin the 360 out of its just reward for that year long head start. Well you know your full of it. For those that say Microsoft won this round, but the next goes to the console you covet. Seriously what are you a stereotypical cartoon villain. Probably I suppose there is a lot of hot air blowing through this thread. So the competition has bragging rights to something that your console of choice couldn't even hope to match. This thread is so full of haters it must violate some form of health code. Worse then that is the number of posters that proclaim themselves to be the reincarnation of Nostradamus. Could someone explain to me why my spell check goes postal when I spell Wii, but not Nostradamus. God that is seriously messed up. Back on subject you don't know your playing a hunch or gambling. Your also being incredibly reckless with your gamble. Once again for the billionth time for the drug addled minds in the back of the room. Neither Microsoft or Nintendo has been all that forthcoming with this years release lists. You know thats kind of need to know information. Would you gamble on a horse race if the track refused to give you the names of most horses in a race, or even the odds. Instead forcing you to bet blind. First gambling rarely pays off, but would you honestly trust the result after the fact. So why gamble like that on game consoles. Hate is like poison some of you need a serious trip into detox. Yes you can compliment the competitions machine when it does something right. That is a sign of maturity.

I only have 1 problem with your post. I don't believe the value drops if you take out the shooters (as shown below). You still have 6 games with 90%+ rating  and 25 games with 85%+

90% +

1 BioShock 2007 96
4 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The 2006 94
7 Rock Band 2007 93
8 Guitar Hero II 2007 92
9 Mass Effect 2007 91
11 Forza Motorsport 2 2007 90

85%+

13 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 2007 89
15 Burnout Revenge 2006 89
16 Virtua Fighter 5 2007 88
17 Project Gotham Racing 3 2005 88

When it comes to top-tier games, the Playstation 3 has the most diverse library of the 3 consoles. Wii is downright lacking in quality all together; it only has a few high quality games, which is very unexeptable. The Wii only has around 20 great games. I demand more than 20 games to choose from.
