PS3 games best-rated - Analyst

EEDAR research results show 1-in-8 games for Sony console get average review scores of at least 85%; rate drops to 1-in-50 for DS and Wii.

Anecdotally, Nintendo's DS and Wii systems have a glut of subpar offerings rushed out to capitalize on both systems' wide-ranging popularity. Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich today offered a bit more concrete evidence to support that notion in a report breaking down games' average review scores by the quarters in which they were released.

First!

Just writing my first comment...

40cal6256d ago

"On the high end of the spectrum was the PlayStation 3. About 13 percent of the games released for Sony's console scored 85 or better, compared to 10 percent of games for the Xbox 360. Industry-wide, about 5 percent of games surpassed the high quality threshold."

And there are more great games on the way. Sony's E3 showing cant come soon enough. Quality hardware, quality software, and quality services, only on PlayStation.

SL1M DADDY6256d ago

If you want quality over quantity, PS3 is the console of choice for those with a limit of one console. Glad I have both the PS3 and the 360. having both keeps from having spare time on my hands to waste on shovelware regardless of the system.

Daoshai6256d ago

Defiantly is great to own both. I think both have great games to get excited about

lol, really?

in any other job you would be fired for practicing such ethics like the guy you mentioned did but, for some reason gaming "journalists" seem to get a free pass.....C'est la vie

I will take quantity over percentage any day.

My point being two-fold:

a) If the quantity exceeds another platform, I will ignore the percentage. Do you want 100% with only 1 game or 10% with a 1000 games? Yes, that was exaggerated.

b) It is reasonable to expect that as a system get's more popular it is reasonable to believe that the quality goes down i.e more crapware for a fast back. Just look at the Wii and the DS.

Numbers can be made to look good depending on the metrics.

Saren Arterius6256d ago

Xbox 360 still has the best games. Go to Metacritic and see for yourself

;)

cmrbe6256d ago

Quality, Variety and quantity.

Sony already has quality and variety. Soon quantity as well. When you have 20 internal studios not including 2nd parties releasing games for you on top of 3rd parties. You will eventually have more content than others. We knew this when the PS3 was announced.

What xbox fans fail to see is that the only reason why there are more x360 games now is because the x360 was released 1 year ahead.

IdleLeeSiuLung6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

Well I want my games now, not in the future if you catch my drift.

In all seriousness, do people think there aren't enough games on the 360? I mean I'm busy with so many games and there are so many more games released that there isn't enough time to play them all let alone the money to buy them.

So why this talk about no games? In fact, I think the only real way to enjoy gaming is to buy all three consoles. Best of all worlds except for your wallet and you know social time with people.

KaBaW6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

I find it quite entertaining that both of the posters above you got lots of agrees for praising the PS3.. But, when you praise BOTH the PS3 and x360 you don't get as many agrees and you get more disagrees. Funny how that works out..

Both systems are great and have something for everyone..
I don't see why people can't accept that. =/

ThanatosDMC6255d ago

Can't really disagree myself, I've been having fun with the games that are coming out as of late. Not to mention looking forward to the ones that will be coming out. Next game to get Demon's Souls.

Good job Sony and the developers who make the games.

Myst6256d ago

Of course beers' all around!

No I.D. needed either :)

ThanatosDMC6255d ago

I imported Demon's Souls! I cant wait!

Oh yeah, dont forget Fat Princess is coming soon. I hope they keep it below $10... i really hope they have more maps than those initial four that they were talking about on the betas.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle76d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7776d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg82d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree82d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai81d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde83d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy83d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12583d ago (Edited 83d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
