In a polarized world like the one we live in, where everyone lives in their own trench without listening to anyone else, it has become common to walk around almost every day shouting to everyone what is the best console and what is the best game. And of course, when it comes to opinions, there are as many as players in the world so if you want, we’re going to focus on something that we might consider moderately objective.
To do this, some decided to go Metacriticwe all already know the percentage error their scores may indicate, but as a trend it helps us gauge how good or bad each platform’s successes are. And by analyzing everything published on the web, including reviews and audience ratings, which console do you think has the most and best games at the moment? Can you guess it?
A console with the best games
This study which was published and informed by opinions on the RestEra forums decided to count the games which exceed 90 in Metacritic of the last generations of consoles and, according to their number, to mark which is the platform with the best releases, therefore general. We obviously don’t get into other score segments below that could also be used to mark the overall average. But that’s another story.
The fact is that by adding all those games that score above 90 in Metacritic As for the critics, things have been very clear and with a fairly narrow margin. Nintendo Switch It beats the PlayStation 4. The first has 39 games above this score while in the case of the Sony machine, it remains at 33. In third position appears the Xbox One with a total of 26 releases above 90.
The fourth position is for PlayStation 5 who currently has 25 games above 90 points Metacritic so it’s one step away from catching the Xbox One, precisely, the older sister of this console, Xbox Series X|S He became a red lantern with only 16 games with more than 90 points. A rather weak result compared to what many might have expected.
PS5 and Xbox Series
It is normal that the two most modern consoles are late because they have had less time to launch better games since each still has three or four years to occupy the top positions. Above all PS5 which, we will see, if it has the strength to face an absolutely indestructible Nintendo Switch since 2017: it is at the top of the ranking of hardware and software sales, with the Top 10 in some countries which are an absolute monopoly of Japanese.
This is what the ranking looks like:
- Nintendo Switch: 39 games
- PlayStation 4: 33 games
- Xbox One: 26 games
- PlayStation 5: 25 games
- Xbox Series X/S: 16 games
