SPG reports PS3 has higher quality games |
Listed in: PS3, Wii, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS Tags: CNET, Nintendo, Sony
Ó
The PlayStation 3 is often the target of criticism by fans of other consoles. Majority of hostile gamers have toyed with Sony's next generation console, claiming that the system doesn't have any quality games. To verify these claims, the Sony Protection Group conducted an investigation of their own.
Using CNet's MetaCritic.com, Sony Protection Group has discovered on May 20 that the PlayStation 3 has more quality games than of any other console. MetaCritic lists games on every next generation and current generation that has at least five reviews from reputable gaming sites worldwide.
Other discoveries on that day include that the Xbox 360 has the least games rated less than 50% on average, while the Wii has had the most games rated below 50% on average. Nintendo's new-gen console has also seen the least amount of games rated 80% and above on average.
Sony Protection Group has concluded that most gamers would rather save money than to spend more for higher quality games. They added that the Wii and DS both offered the least of quality games.

it's quite funny when people start to recite titles like "we have Halo, Gears Of War, Prey, Lost Planet, Shadow Run, Bioshock, Crackdown" all big names... but fail to realize that they're all shooters... and to some people (like me) shooters are all the same...
but when PS3 people starts spewing their "Resistance, Motorstorm, MGS4, Gran Turismo, Rachet and Clank, FFXIII, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Lair"... evryday someone from the PS3 camp will recite that... then u see that the PS3 has got all genre covered...
That's why people keep on saying that Haze could a nice success on the PS3 but on the 360 it is just another shooter.

It works both ways...
Most 360 gamers dont care about the list of games PS3 gamers spout off either. Resistance, they have enough FPS. Motorstorm, they have plenty of racers. MGS4, they have Splinter Cell. Etc etc etc...
As for 360 games being all shooters, 360 gamers also have Blue Dragon, PGR, DOA, Viva Pinata, MotoGP, Condemned, Amped, Table Tennis, Burnout, Splinter Cell, Dead Rising, Kameo, etc etc etc. So the rumor that 360 only has shooters is only spouted off by people who dont own a 360. That would be like saying all PS3 games are japanese role playing games, which isnt the case.
As for Haze, youre right, no one cares if that goes exclusive although its highly doubtful that it will since development has already started and they arent going to just throw money down the drain.

Also, lets see the purchase charts too. Hopefully Wii owners aren't buying the ***** they're giving us.

And as for them having the "highest quality" (whatever that means?) with only like 50 games and like 10 of them being rated well, thats all it would take.
In all actuality this report proved two things:
1. That Microsoft is doing the best in the gaming section (they had the most games that were rated fair to excellent, compared to being just really good and really bad they had all types of games that appealed to certain sets of gamers).
2. That Sony really has no judgement about good games seeing as how they keep yelling that the wii has no games yet are still being outsold again, BY THE MILLIONS.

Blue Dragon, PGR, DOA, Viva Pinata, MotoGP, Condemned, Amped, Table Tennis, Burnout, Splinter Cell, Dead Rising, Kameo, etc etc etc.
but the thing is my friend, of all the time i spend here in QJ (and you know about this cause of our encounters)... this is the first time that someone mentioned most of those games as a "Pro" to the 360... it maybe because you had to mention them now??? but for a 360 owner getting into title wars with a ps3 owner (this always happens as you know) those are not the titles that they choose to fight the PS3 owner with... but more so the titles i mentioned in my above post.
so to a 360 virgin like me the XBox 360 is for shooters with most of my info derived from bragging 360 owners (who often mentions shooters) and hyped games for the console (which for the 360 is mostly shooters)... and when going to other genre most people (as you might agree) would tend to have their attention swayed to Tekken over DOA, Gran Turismo over Forza, Final Fantasy over Blue Dragon, MGS over Splinter Cell in the same way that Halo will eat Resistance alive... maybe because of the history behind the Playstation that's why the games on it has more impact over the 360...
but as i said, if you look at my title in my first post "Personally"... so that's just me.

Yes, what is "highest quality"? Aesthetics. I will have to disagree with the SPG, hahaha, PS3 games currently out just plain suck. Until Devil May Cry 4 - coming on multiple platforms - is out, the PS3 has no games worth the tag of $60. Just my opinion.

what i'm meanign to actually say is that maybe 360 owners (when choosing for titles to hold their consoles up high) choose to mention the ones i wrote down and not the multi-genre selection you just mentioned cause they know that a ps3 owner could easily counter with a more popular and better game on that genre so unconciously they end up reciting shooters...

PS3 does not have that many titles out, so it's easier to get a better score out of all this. As for the Wii, everyone knows developers are trying to fart out crap to sell. It's basically a game company going like this:
Hey Billy, Wii is selling like hotcakes, go get Bobby and Cletus and grab a port and switch the controls with motion swings!
Give it time, the same thing happened to the DS and sadly still does from time to time. And shouldn't we all take this with a teeny tiny grain of salt. I think the Sony Protection Group might have a small agenda ya know? The only question is where is the Atari Protection Group. Am I right? lol

360, I give it time before I eventually rape it's inside. And I do not know why I actually buy Wii games when you can in theory mod that. I have this sickening loyalty to actually buy stuff for my Wii. Probably cause I want to keep them around ha! Well I am just ranting now, I apologize. Best thread as of lately, neither of you flame each other.

yes Jake it is not the games that actually caused the wii to sell millions and millions in a few months time.
the reason the wii is so hot is because of the casual people who are taken into this device not by the games but by the experience that the controller gives and it's rediculously low price in comparison to other options in the market the 360 and PS3...
so yes i stand by my words when i say it is not the roster of games that is selling the wii.

It isn't that hard to believe, either. The Wii is pretty much two games at this point and a boatload of crappy ports.

Sure the 360 has alot of the same type of games eg shooters,racing sims, but at least when your done with one, theres another to keep you occupied until the "QUALITY" games come out....Right now PS3 needs quantity over quality....right now my PS3 is just collecting dust occasionally ill turn it on and use it to heat up my room :)

All I know is that i'll be buying Forza 2, Shadowrun, Monster Madness, Tenchu Z and Colin McRae: Dirt in the next couple of weeks.
What are you planning on buying for your PS3 in the next couple weeks?

what's your point???

Now.....
More Games? Xblows 270 no doubt.
Better games? Neither. Eye of the beholder.
Better hardware? PS3, absolutely, hands down. Nothing comes close, for $600.00.
PC? Xblows 270 Elite? No way at that price point.

Even still.. It's encouraging to see these kind of numbers for any PS-enthusiast.

PS3 games CONSISTENTLY receive lower review scores than 360 games. For proof of that check out EVERY SINGLE GAME ported over to the PS3.
PS3 am garbage.

* xbox 360 was released BEFORE the PS3 so it's had more time for a higher quantity great games.
* PS3 has a lot less games but they are mostly great games and any gamer would wait a year or even two if a console was going to get high quality games like MGS4 and Gran turismo.
i own a PS3 and i'm thinking of getting a wii. 3 of my friends own an Xbox 360 and i enjoy playing their 360's as much as they enjoy playing my PS3. If someone could give me a GOOD reason why the ps3 sucks instead of "it's not a xbox" or "it's to exspensive" or "the games are crap" then i'll give them 2 reasons why i prefer the PS3 over the Xbox360 .
To finish, buy wich console you want and don't ***** just because other people don't want the same console!

Compare the top twenty rated games on each system:
360 games in the top twenty Range from the highest Score of 94 for Gears and Oblivion. The lowest of the top 20 games bottoms out at 84 with Viva Pinata
Looking at the top twenty rated games on PS3:, The number one game is Oblivion, with a rating of 93 (lower than 360's), and the lowest rating a 76 (Calling all Cars) but notice how PS3 only has 4 games rated higher than 84!!! 360 has 19 games rated higher than 84!!
Its no Mystery why PS3 continues to suck, its a $600 Game system, that has VERY FEW GOOD GAMES. Period
I find it very interesting that if you compare Metacritic scores for games that are on both systems, you find 360's are rated much higher:
Oblivion : 360 - Scores a 94, PS3 Scores a 93
FEAR: : 360 - 85 PS3 -72
Splinter Cell : 360- 85 PS3- 78
Also, compare the total number of games: Xbox has 188 games. PS3 has 44.
No wonder is PS3 is getting slammed in the @$$ right now.
To recap : 360 is cheaper, has more games, has higher rated games, and games that are on both systems are rated higher on the 360.
I also predict that Forza 2, Mass Effect, and Halo 3 will all get metacritics higher than 90.
But, 360 can't Blu Ray discs. So, I guess that makes PS3 better.

But Nintendo has something here that benefits through their mass appeal. No longer is it just a gamer buying a few different games for just him or herself. My family has bought Rayman (Sister), Zelda (Myself), Red Steel (Bro and I), Madden (Dad), Wii Play (Mom), Paper Mario (Myself), Mario Party 8 (Mom) and we are looking forward to RE4 and Metroid. It's no longer just my brother and I getting a few games. The whole family is now in gaming and we buy more games that even I generally wouldn't buy. So though you are pretty right on the money about the console selling itself, not the games.
The games are playing a part, and benefiting from the console's wide audience. It will be the games that keep the system going, cause those titles mentioned do have a unique charm if not high quality. But all this is totally off topic. Blah I don't even know where I was going with this. I apologize. But I agree with you, the console sells itself. Which is awesome in initself.
P.S. Why do all my comments go down the crapper? I confress I am Pro Nintendo, but I am not a blind rabid retard about it. lol

There is not a lot of good game for now on the ps3 i admint it, but i least, i'm gonna have a working console in one year when all the good games will be out, as of you 360 fanboy, you'll have to pay and pay and pay when your garanty will void.... You should do like me and think about selling it while the demand is still good... personnaly i don't want to pay for that *****ty box ta always break only looking at it... it doesn't even have so much good games...lost planet?? pwaaa funny about 45 minutes or so and it get the same all the way and gonna be on pc. Gutiar hero? gonna be on ps3. Oblivion? already on ps3. All upcoming good games? going on ps3 plus lots of exclusivity. so shut up 360 fanboys and stop being chlidish and see the truth : xbox 360 is the most UNSTABLE, BAD QUALITY hardware, and not so much good game console on the market right now. You really want to pay 500$ for something that always break? And if you tell me that your's haven't broke yet, haha don'T fear, it will come sooner than you think.

Another Wii game in the 5.0 range. Nintendo will be dead soon if their exclusives are getting these low scores. I mean, the Wii has the LOWEST rated games of any console ever minus the n-gage, but people buy it. Nintendo has to be laughing at you guys. The only good games coming for the Wii are smash, mario galaxy and metroid and even metroid looks horrible in terms of graphics. If Mario galaxy and smash get anything other than 9.0, the Wii will have basically no high rated games.

By the way, Nintendo will never be dead. They make the most money out of the three console giants, if you don't believe me look up charts on ds and Wii sales. Everyone including myself is annoyed with the lack of good games from nintendo, but they are doing their best right now; in about a year they will havef like the best games.

Does CNet gets more visitors that own a PS3, rather than other consoles? This is not a comparison of quality. This is a comparison of how many "X fanboys" come to CNet.
