For me having the worst games puts a big dent in the consoles library.

And i think a console having a better average of quality, does indeed mean those games are better. And because we usually use the review system to judge if a game is good or "AAA" status, i think it's fair to use average quality as an indicator of who has the best games.

IMO, having the best quality library as a whole means that console has the best games.

One drawback for this though, it doesn't take into account the games from previous gen's.

This is ludicrous. You're telling me that five fantastic games and five bad games, when compared to four fantastic games, means that the second collection is superior?

The console that has the best games is the one that has the best games. The individual best games. I'm not buying a whole library when I purchase a console, I am buying specific games.

Bad games bring the whole library's quality down as a whole.

I gave you average quality, which gives you the best games on average. Which PS3 wins.

If we count the top rated games from each genre, i am also pretty sure the PS3 beats out the other 2 consoles overall if you include both Exclusives and Multiplats.

Carl?

The thread is about which game library you prefer. You don't play Metacritic averages, you play games you like. So please don't bring Metacritic in this, just tell us what you think!

At least, that's what I think Khuutra would say.

Then PS2 gets points deducted because of having a lot of shovelware as well?

@Monti

your point was more valid in 2007 and maybe 2008, The PS3 and 360 shares 90% of the games now and the PS3 has clearly increased their exclusives games. And yes, I know it's your opinion.

The 360 still has a wider range of exclusives as well as several multiplatform games that the PS3 doesn't. And yes, it is my opinion. I still love the PS3 though, I just need more games for it.

Fair enough.

360 wins.

Yes.

Although PS2 had more than enough quality to make up for all the shovelware it recieved.

My own experience with the PS3 is pretty much limited to MGS4 and LittleBigPlanet.

LittleBigPlanet is awesome with four players.

Yes, but on average the PS2 still had the worst library of the four consoles last gen going by Metacritic.

Rol don't do this, you know what evil this may unleash
