WastedJoker Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So, in conclusion, PS3 owners rate more games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livin in a box Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Too right. Most of the PS3 exclusives this year have been excellent. And 1 great game for the Wii is shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted December 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2009 So, in conclusion, PS3 owners rate more games? PS3 Owners? Isn't this from the actual Metacritic score which is taken from actual reviews? not User reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilo Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Most Wii titles don't get reviewed. Most Wii titles are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaris Veteran Posted December 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hmmm, I'm happy for PS3, its my console of choice, but last I checked 72.5 > 72.0, or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillAholic Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm glad to see the PS3 finally being recognized. Maybe I'm still bitter over 2 years of being told I have no good games to play. But really, When you've got at least 7 Great comes coming out on your console of choice a year how can you complain? Oh yea, if your a wii owner. But come on, you've had to known what you'd be getting yourself into with the wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniqstylz Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 PS3 Owners?Isn't this from the actual Metacritic score which is taken from actual reviews? not User reviews? Not only that, but the PS3 has the 2nd fewest games on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing something lol. A median score is not an average. Look at the other columns - PS3 does better on those overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massiveterra Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Bit high :p whoops! what I meant to say was I really refuse to believe that the wii has a median of 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00000 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I can't believe even metacritic themselves are compiling this garbage now. Mean and Median scores mean absolutely nothing, if you're going to use metacritic scores to try and determine which console is going to provide the better total gameplay for you (which is probably a pointless endeavor anyway) then the number of good titles alone is a much better metric, even better would be a list broken down by genres that you are interested in totaling average hours a player has played in that game and then taking only the top X number of hours from that list, X being the hours you can spend yearly gaming. Unless you live in some alternate reality where you are forced to play representative samples from the whole collection of games, or your local walmart throws away crates of Uncharted 2 to make room for Hannah Montana.
