Just because the 360 has Madden 2006 and CoD2, that means it has a broader range? Sure, speaking absolutely, but not relatively. When you say "OMG the 360 has 137 GAMEZ!! PS3 DOESNT!!!" it's THOSE games that boosts the numbers. Games that came out in 2005/early 2006 that NO ONE cares about anymore. And I wouldn't even say it has a broader range either...in those first two years, the games were mostly FPS/TPS. It wasn't called the "ShooterBox" for no reason

Yeah...because it had what? 2-300 games total. PS3 had over 8000 (including games never released outside of Japan). It's like the latest study saying the PS3 attach ratio is higher than the Wii's.....but the Wii has 50 million units in consumer homes, so it's harder to maintain a high attach rate

I pray your joking, lol.

Eh what? Four?  Halo 3, Wars, ODST, and...?

Please, I would like to know what the 4th Halo for the 360 is? :D

You just keep digging yourself deeper into a hole.  You didn't even read the article.

xbox had 219 above 80.

ps2 had 320 above 80.

So basically of those 8000 ps2 games, most were crappy shovelware (like the wii now days).

Wow, your reasoning is so damn pathetic....lmao!!!!!!!!

Here you say, we have to see things relatively.

Talking about PS2/Xbox you say, we have to see absolute numbers.

PS2* not PS3 over 8000. And I did read the article, but what relevancy does it have here?

Now talking about the PS2/Xbox...yeah, it has 219....but how many are shared with the PS2? Changes your perspective, doesn't it? On the other hand, the PS2 had more compelling reasons to pick up the console (Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII), Kingdom Hearts, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet, WWE Smackdown series, MGS, Guitar Hero (at the time), etc. So what hole am I digging myself into? And yes, it's kind of a poor showing to have 8000 games and only about 300 being quality, but UNLIKE the Wii, the PS2 is got high profile games all the time. Wii gets them like...once or twice a year.

Only reason I even brought up the PS2 having so many games was because you brought up tie ratios

Not sure what the numbers would come to but what if you remove every single sports game dated before the 2009 titles for each platform. That would erase plenty of Soccer, Football, Baseball, etc... games from 2006 and 2005 right?

Just thought you should know that the PS3 has 226 games that score UNDER 80 on Metacritic,  the 360 has a stunning 471 games that score UNDER 80.  So I guess its M$ that is putting out crappy shovelware as you put it.

BTW, Metacritic is a list of games that have at least 5 reviews, it is not a list of available games.

There is about a 150 more games for the 360 than the PS3 which most people could care less about.  Compare that to the PS2 that has 2000 more games than the xbox.  That is a huge difference there.

Yes, as contradictory as it sounds, I think of it that way because no one talks about the PS2 having better games than the Xbox....because of Madden/NBA Live 2001. Compared to the Xbox, those games were exclusive to PS2, but they aren't counted as reasons why the PS2's library was better, which is why I don't think in relative terms here. Like I replied to CMoney, the PS2 was better because of the God of Wars, the Kingdom Hearts, the Final Fantasies, the Jak and Daxters, Ratchet and Clanks, Metal Gears, that made it great.

People here toss that 139 number for the 360 around....but the difference between it, and the PS3's 96 or so, is because of every 2006 level EA sports game, and stuff like Dead Rising
