Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time
19 hours 19 mins ago
The graph says it all. The PS3's average game is better than an average game from any other console, This small study included the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, as well as the PS3, Wii, and 360. It was conducted by looking at average game scores on GameRankings.
While doing some data trawling through GameRankings recently, I ran across a phenomenon on the Wii that I hadn't really seen quantified before.
The average of all Xbox 360 reviews cataloged on GameRankings turns out to be almost 70%. The same number for the PlayStation 3 is over 73% and for the Nintendo Wii ... a dismal 64%. A picture says it best:

I couldent really care les if someone said to me a game was crap.
If I like a game I like it, regardless.
I've stated on another forum, that a good part of the reason for the PS3 having a higher average rating for games, is simply because the game devs that push out crap or mediocre games, don't want to tackle the PS3's harder to code for architecture, it is too daunting for these substandard devs....
Once more tools are available, and it becomes relatively easy to code for, you'll see a lot more crap games on the PS3....
Same for when the PS3 has a much larger number of units out there, currently it is behind the Wii (which has the most crap games), and 360 (a bit behind the PS3 in % of quality games). Not to mention older gen consoles...
Give it time, and you'll see a lot more crap games on the PS3, but you'll also see some awesome games too, as the hardware becomes easier to code for...Better graphics and gameplay....
"For example, the Xbox 360 has been out a year longer than the other two systems, so maybe it has more good games bringing its average up. And the PlayStation 3 has 33% fewer games than the Nintendo Wii, so perhaps a lack of shovelware is keeping the PS3 average higher. If we attempt to level the playing field and only look at the top 10% of all games on each system, the picture evens out a bit for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but the Wii is still significantly behind:"
The graph at that bit shows them as equal and it's also a fairer set of rules. So saying "The graph says it all." Is a little bit of a white lie.
I have nothing against the PS3 or the 360. They do things differently and it's just what people like but I don't like the way you've worded it in the introduction to make it seem like "PS3 FTW!!"
The reason the Wii has such a "dismal" percentage is that some developers see a lot of money in it, so they push out crap, lowering the ratings.
Idiot.
Best. Game. Ever.
I've never played it on PS3 tbh. Oh wait... it's not on PS3.
Best. Game. Ever.
I've never played it on 360 tbh. Oh wait... it's not on 360.
See how easy that argument was to turn?
Geez, this site is about people's opinions and comments on gaming articles. It was pretty obvious I was just saying that the 360 doesn't have as ridiculous games as that chart suggests.
Are they any good?
Considering Halo 2.5: Well, it is what it is; overrated. To this day I still don't know what makes everyone get a stiff over BioShock either. No multiplayer, essentially rehashed off of a past game, etc. etc.=/
You'll run out pretty soon. I'd still have more than a couple left.
Regardless i could care less about the graphs. PS3 has games i like and will continue playing them. And there is some 360 games that has peeked my interest.
Which reminds me, off to gather money for 360 and Ninja Gaiden 2.
