Forums - Gaming - Last-gen million sellers + ratings (prequel?)

It wasn't asked for, but coolestguyever made me wonder how things stood last generation. PS2 has way too many to list them all, so I'll just post some statistics for each system. I only have data for GC and PS2 at the moment, since PS2 took so long I don't feel like doing XBOX right now, but I'll edit this post in the future if anyone is interested.

Million sellers were determined by VGChartz's game database while ratings are an average of metacritic and gamerankings scores.

GC:
Total -   38
90+ -     9  23.68%
80-89 - 15 39.47%
70-79 -  9  23.68%
-69 -      5  13.16%

Max       96.611
Avg        81.951
Median  83.224
Min        54.743

 

PS2:
Total -   197
90+ -     41  20.81%
80-89 -  87  39.47%
70-79 -  44  22.34%
-69 -      25  12.69%

Max       96.059
Avg        81.280
Median  82.967

PS2 had 206 million sellers according to VGchartz.




-69 - 7 38.89%

That's what kills Wii (in the eyes of gamers), no other console has nearly as many low scored games as million seller. PS3 has 0, PS2 and GC had about 12%

Hilariously, no xbox number. ;)

Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

@Auron
Yes but several of them didn't exist on one or the other site. Several of the Winning Eleven games, GT Concept, and some game I presume was japan-only comes to mind.

@kingofwale
Yep, it is pretty high compared to PS3, PS2, and GC. A lot of Wii's user base doesn't care about reviews they just want to have fun, and apparently the poorly reviewed games provide the fun or they wouldn't have such high sales.
I'll get Xbox/360 numbers up tomorrow.
