Forums - Gaming Discussion - Should PS, Nintendo and Xbox do written user reviews & player count numbers like steam?


The bug 3 should do user reviews & lists including player counts.
Yes.	14	51.85%
No.	10	37.04%
Maybe. I have not thought...	3	11.11%
Total:	27

Xbox/MS store has them and it seems it will be only worse on other consoles because they obviously playing with controller only and barely anyone want to type a whole review with a controller.

Wait....Xbox has it? I'm gonna check that out.

I wonder if I can plug in a keyboard and type with that or do it on the website.

Yeah on xbox it is the 5 star rating + review. For me many have 1 star because of local language issues.

In an ideal world, yes. We would all have a voice. But this is not an ideal world, and there are too many trolls and people suffering from confirmation bias etc, so it just would not work.

Xbox has ratings and written reviews.
PlayStation has ratings.
Nintendo dropped ratings despite the fact that 3DS and Wii U had them.
Yes, the Big 3 should be more like Steam in terms of player counts and ratings/reviews.
