Well we all know for sales so far Xbox 360 is up, Wii and PS3 are down. Well let's look at what's really important - The Games.

Halo Wars, Chronicles of Riddick, Red Faction: Geurilla, UFC Undisputed, Skate 2, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4, Guitar Hero Metallica, GTA Lost and Damned, Peggle, Space Invaders Extreme, Fallout 3 Broken Steel, Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box.

 

Wii - 14 Games of 80% or better counting 2 New Play control games

Little King's Story, MadWorld, Rune Factory: Fronteir, Boom Blox Bash Party, Guitar Hero Metallica, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, Bonsai Barber, Excitebots: Trick Racing, Bubble Bobble Plus, Punch Out!!, New Play Control Pikmin 2, New Play Control Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, EA Sports Active, Swords and Soldiers.

 

As we can all see while 360 is the only console that's improved in sales, it's had the least great games released thus far 2009. PS3 has a solid lead and has the most promising lineup still to come.

Wii is starting to improve for sure.



Using metacritc to prove a any point is pointless. In order to prove a point you must present *rational* arguments. Metacritic is no such thing. In fact it is an mere opinion and all opions are biased. Just like this OP.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

If a tree falls in a forest but noone was there to witness it, did that tree fall? Its the same story with video games, if a video game gets high reviews but noone actually cares to buy it then the high score is moot really. That something like Okami got a high review score doesn't matter that much because hardly anyone actually bought it. You could say that they released something that the critics wanted but the market did not.



Tease.

Nice for the PS3, and it will only continue from here.

PS3 and Wii are doing great this year in terms of exclusives. 360 trails behind as usual.

Even more so than usual, i think. For their own sakes, Microsoft had better have something exciting in store, if only for their own PR purposes.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

PS3 is owning.
360 is doing terrible.
Wii is finally starting to get good games.



                            

Also another thing...

It should be 85%+

Yakuza is Japan only and the rest have Xbox 360 versions. Getting 1 point lower doesn't make it uncountable. Its just statistical variation and the fact that Metacritic normalises scores. Pretty even eh?



Tease.
