no, it provides statistics of opinions

 

Funny, I thought "Number of units sold," even an approximation thereof, was a statistic, not an opinion.

Or is this site based on what people "believe should be sales numbers."

Ratings are 100% subjective, sales numbers are not.



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Wii has about 5 unbeatable games that are the best in their genre though.
Zelda=Adventure
SMG=Platformer
Fire Emblem= SRPG (though Disgaea 3 may prove to be better, dunno)
Smash=Fighting (imo, this is debatable I guess)
Mario Kart= Kart Racing

and Wii is best for alternative, casual, and party games.
PS3 has the best stealth action game...
I don't know, all 3 console have alot of good games. You can't just say one has the best by far. I think 360 has the best games, but the other 2 consoles both have alot of great stuff. Its depends alot on taste.

They're averaging the top 5. The problem with that is obvious: if there are three fantastic games and the rest are crap in that category, you'll end up with a lower score.

Add a year to the life of the PS3 and the Wii and those graphs will inevitably look different because they'll have gotten more top games.

they have the best FPS.... yep.... wait... yep, thats it.

360 has better shooters that is it. 360 is a shooter console.

I think the 360 has A lot more than good shooters.

It has become much more versatile in it,s gaming genres.

Funny that the people who use that argument are always nintendo fanboys. (lol wiiplay rlz?) I always thought that sales numbers are subjective too, like a guy who likes game A buys game A. Another guy likes game B and buys it. That is not subjective? :)

Fire emblem is not the best rpg. Smash is not the best fighter. Mario kart definitely is not the best racer. :D

Hmmm, if they include Banjo Kazooie when it comes out for XBLA, they better include Super Mario 64, SMB 1 2 3, Super Mario World, DKC 1 2 3 for Wii.

I'm not even going to begin on how flawed a metacritic comparison is, according to them GTA 4 and Tony Hawk are right under OoT as best game ever made, They aren't even in my top 100 personally.

how could it win in platformers,SMG crushes all platforming 360 games

Yeah, OoT does not belong there. But hey, what can you do.
