Famitsu has recently concluded a test between the PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, and portables to determine which system had the best games. Â As you may have guessed the PS3 came out on top of this experiment. Â The Japanese publication took the scores of over 500 games it reviewed in the previous year to see how many titles for each system recieved at least a “silver” ranking which is 30/40.
The numbers aren’t terrribly surprising considering that Famitsu is a Japanese publication, and PS3 is very popular in Japan. Â 77 out of 103 PS3 titles scored in this range. Xbox 360 came in second place with 65 out of 97, and the Wii finished last in the consoles with 30/40. Â Some may find this strange that over fifty percent of the games reviewed by Famitsu recieved an award.
It would be interesting to see this done from a U.S. and U.K site as well, there’s certainly a cultural divide between the Xbox 360 and PS3 in Japan and it must affect review scores in some manner. Â It’s likely that data from this side of the world would indicate otherwise, being that U.S. is where the Xbox 360 is most popular.
