Often you will hear from gamers from one console group or the other "Your system has no quality games". In the last 6 months this has been true for owners of PS3, we hear it all the time. SPG has set out to investigate these claims.
Of all current consoles the PS3 has the highest percentage of games rated over 80%.
Of all current consoles the X360 has the lowest percentage of games rated under 50%.
The Wii has the lowest percentage of games over 80% and the most under 50% of any console.
The PSP has the highest percentage of games over 80% and the lowest percentage under 50%.
Submitter's note: you can check the validity of these claims yourself.
For example:
14 of the 44 released PS3 games have better rating than 80%. That is 31% of the games.

52 of the 188 released X360 games have better rating than 80%. That is 27% of the games.

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
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.
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.
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.

Speaking of this so called "news"... I like how they use a % rather than actual quality titles... Can we all admit that this is pathetic? Seriously .. Sony Protection Group?
hahahaahaaaa this is bull!!!
SONY PROTECTION GROUP
80% for PS3 games? Don't make me laugh. So many scored under that. THey mixed up the 360 games and the PS3 rates there
Mart it's right. But it's not that impressive since there arent that many ps3 games released.
Kool info. Thanks TnS for proof links. Wii has the largest percentage of crappy games and smallest share of good ones and yet its selling the most!! 360 is also doing great with the least amount of bad games.
This is comparing apples to oranges. MOST PS3 games are ports of good 360 games. It is to soon for a report like this to have credit.
