Forums - Gaming Discussion - >90 METACRITIC: The Nintendo Switch has more Games than PS4 and XB1 together (First Year)

Metacritic is now tracking both Bayo 1 + 2 as the same score. It’s 90 at the moment, but typically scores drop from this point.

No it ain't. The 84 is for the digital download for the FIRST game. The first game is vastly inferior to the 2nd( I do like it's really odd aesthetic though). The 90 is for the collection of both games on Switch physically. Bayonetta 2 standalone is at a 92 on Switch. 

OP should change Bayonetta to Bayonetta 1+2 then. Also counting the Bayonetta bundle and Bayonetta 2 in the same list is padding things just a bit.

Ah, I didn't even see he used it twice! You're right. Bayonetta 1+2 is at a 90. Either use the Bayonetta 2 score, the collection, or none at all!



Hm. Surprised to see the Switch list matching the PS4 list in amount of ports. Interesting.

How hard is it to read a thread title people? (jk)

He's saying it has more first year titles that are 90 or above than PS4 did in it's first year. He may be wrong, but a lot of those games you posted aren't first year.

He's talking first year homeboy. :) I never make threads, can the op's erroneous list be corrected? I need to sleep tonight.

Then its a good thing we dont live in the past right?
What does this baised 1st year "only" methode achive but make Switch look better than it is?

Because a race isn't a race when one person starts 4 miles ahead. This is showing which console was quicker to deliver 90+ games.



We should add some more consoles. It'd interesting to see how other generations compare

Well ... as someone who actually does get tired of those pointless Switch threads that repeat what's been said a million times before just to gloat endlessly about a console ... this is actually a pretty meaningful statistic. 

First of all, it means that the Switch already has more games that are beloved than the PS4 did in the same time frame. This already puts it at a comfortable spot for those wondering whether or not a first year Switch purchase is right for them. Secondly, having more "quality" games than your competitor is always going to be an important point no matter the circumstance, so I honestly don't see why you think it would be any different in this scenario. Third, think about the implications of this. If Nintendo try even a little bit to keep up some momentum with 90+ games, they will either end the generation near PS4's total amount or even beating it. Simpleton is right here, if someone starts and beats their competitor early than it's a game of catch up for the competitor. PS4 will be hard to beat due to it's tremendous third party support, but Switch is having a good start.

Of course, part of this isn't due to the Switch. Celeste, Steamworld Heist and Shovel Knight, for instance, aren't really products of the Switch's 1st year. The Switch just happened to launch when those titles were already made or closed to finish. But then again, neither are many other games on the PS4's list. 

No offense intended but it honestly seems like you're more upset by the result shown than the logic leading to it ... because a list like this is honestly pretty logical. Sure, it comes from a place of bias most likely, but then again so does almost every thread on this site regarding positive news console manufacturers.
