WiiU, of course, no doubt about it. The vita has no games.

I wonder if people would hark on about exclusives as much if their system received anything other than those. A game not being exclusive doesn't make it any less of a game.


I wonder why people thinks we should count later downgraded versions of games that are already avalible everywhere else as reasons to buy a 200$ console.

By this argument, would you not prefer Nintendo had just stopped making 3DS games and put them on the Wii U instead? They'd all be better on that.

I bought a handheld to play games on the go. PS3 isn't very useful on the bus or train. See my previous post. Games frequently get varying scores from platform to platform even when the game itself is identical. In Velocity 2X's case, it was always a portable franchise that has now been brought to home consoles too.

There are more PS4 reviews because there is a bigger audience for PS4 game reviews. It also often depends what version the publisher decides to hand out that can dictate which version is reviewed more. But you're ranting about 86% versus 90%? That in a meta is an averaging. Many sites use out of 10 systems. They both round to an average of 9/10.

Yes, but that wouldn't be a smart business move. But the 3DS at least has plenty of games built from the ground up with the 3DS in mind. It's not a HH for Wii ports...

A 4% difference for the same game is big on metacritic. And look at those userscores, the people playing these games obviously don't like them as much.


No, it doesn't appear it was powerful enough. They released the New 3DS for that. ;)

4% is peanuts. When was the last time you played a game on 2 systems and went... Well it was definitely 4% better on this console than that one.

I think you take the specific percentages a bit too seriously.  You need to ballpark them more otherwise it will never make any sense. I mean according to Metacritic, DmC is 2% worse on PS4 and XBO, and also worse than the PC, PS3 and 360 versions. How do you quantify that?

Sleeping Dogs is 3% better on PS3 than it is on 360. But the enhanced XBO release is 8% worse than the PS3 version (and almost not considered a good game).

See how stupid this all suddenly sounds?

Tearaway isn't even an exclusive anymore since a better version is coming out on the ps4 and Gravity rush might be heading the same way if the rumors are to be believed lolll

Not only that, I just discovered that Velocity is not a retail game, so it doesn´t count by the OP standars.

Who thinks that? I don't see anyone saying that???

Any most of that Nintendo stuff will be on a future Virtual Console. So I guess we might as well remove them from the discussion now as they're clearly won't always remain Wii U exclusive.

The reason why Vita games score so high is because no one but hardcore fansites pay them any attention.

An average of 9 reviews is statistically irrelevant. Way too low of a number to take the score serious. That's how statistics work, the more (reliable) data you collect, the more reliable your research will be.
