Doesn't surprise me. Wether the reason is high development costs meaning less shovelware dumped onto the system or not, it sounds logical to me, and that's perfectly fine by me. It's always better when developers actually have to put effort into their games to make a profit.

This post insults me both as a gamer and a statistician. I have never seen a bigger misinterpretation of statistical data in my life just to make PS3 look good. You fanboys really that desparate?
The real outcome of this survey shows that there are twice as many good games on the 360 than on the PS3. THAT is the conclusion! Who cares about "random"!!??

Insulted? Wow.....the data speaks for itself.....
Anyways, read the title man. "Has the leading percentage". Take it how you will and quit whining like a little girl. It's not saying that the PS3 leads in total quantity of "good" games, but %.
fanboys...............

WRONG
The point of the data, if you read the linked article, is that they Wii has 37% of its games being rated below 6.0

Not that the article here isn't focused on the PS3, as that is their job. Just sayin' that the point of the data was originally to show how many poor Wii titles there are. :)

I don't understand how this is a good thing for the PS3 if you dismiss the spin.
So you're saying the PS3 has 40 'good games', and the 360 has 97.

im surprised that what didnt insult you as a statitician is how they dony add up tp 100%

For as many games 360 has in its library, 26% isn't bad at all and could almost be argued as being the "winner", but the Wii is definitely the loser here.
I wonder how many MS/Sony/Nintendo-made games are in the good/bad category. I must say that almost all of the Sony-made games *cough* Lair *cough* have gotten very high reviews and I really do believe in the saying "Quality over Quantity" and I hope Sony continues with that attitude on their games because that is what is making me want to get a PS3.....

Lair isn't a Sony-made game. It's a Factor 5 made game

Yes they were stating the ratio not the quantity. Im very glad that the PS3 is hard to code for at the moment. It will imo keep away the devs that want to build a half assed cash cow.

"Percentege of good games? PS3. Number of good games?"
PS3 gets both quantity and quality, or did you not check the math?
# PS3: 122 games: 33% good (40 games), 17% bad (20 games)
# Wii: 189 games: 11% good (20 games), 37% bad (69 games)

Funny, I have a better time with more titles on the Wii than the PS3. I am NOT casual, just I found the games on the Wii more entertaining and there were more games that entertained me.

Well it is just a percentage, so there's no reason to be upset about a system being misrepresented. Besides, its not as if we don't know what the "good games" are for each system.

But the percentages don't add up to 100 %
Could someone explain the logic here.

A good game is 8.0 or higher, while a bad one is 6.0 or lower. Average games are not taken into consideration.

The number of "good" Wii games is lower due to reviews being skewed in favor of a certain type of game. I won't argue that there is a lot of crap on there, I'm just saying there are some Wii games which are fun to play but didn't get "good" reviews. I'd say there are more games I enjoy on the Wii than on the PS3, however, the games I do enjoy on the PS3, I enjoy more and for longer. It's all bs anyway. Just play what you like.

Useless comparison, you can't compare the 360 userbase to the PS3 or Wii because they haven't been out the same amount of time, it just isn't fair.
But still, lol@Wii.
