Next-Gen's Matt Matthews, perhaps the internet's #1 fan of game-related, coloured graphs, has dug through GameRanking's average review scores and discovered something a lot of you could probably have guessed anyways: when you add up all the Wii reviews and average them out, they're a little...awful.
How awful? See above. While every console of the past eight years (sorry Dreamcast) have seen their games average around 69-71%, the average Wii score is only 64%. Which leads to much hypothesizing in the piece about reviewers not "understanding" the Wii, theories on the impact of shovelware and how the Wii is short on AAA titles (Madden 07, for example, is still in the top 10-ranked games for the platform).
The full article has a lot more graphs and charts than just that one, so head on over if you'd like to see/read more.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
It’s Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door release day, an exciting moment for fans of the beloved RPG and newcomers alike.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
your year has been phenomenal so far.
FTMFW all 2008 and b3yond
And Wii is the best selling system. It's kinda funny how the lower review average is, the higher that console's sales are.
It's time for Nintendo to stop allowing crap like Ninjabread Mand and Jenga on Wii.
for most of 07' there has been much speculation as to the PS3's ability to really deliver, but it appears as though 08' is off to a great start with no real foreseeable slowdown ahead as it has yet to drop its Big Name Titles (MGS4, KZ, etc).....
Great Point MK_Red the Wii still reamins a mystery to me as to how they can allow companies to release such sub par quality games for their console.....
