    Default It's Official: PS3 Has The Best Library Ever



    Former Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi (above) may not be all that happy about how his PlayStation 3 is officially the heaviest game console ever released. But there's another statistic that he'd likely be more delighted to hear: According to a survey of Famitsu magazine's review scores, the PS3 has the highest-quality game library out of any console currently in the marketplace.
    According to figures released in the current issue, 77 out of the 171 PS3 games Famitsu has reviewed as of the end of 2009 received a total score of 32/40 or greater, qualifying it for a Gold award. This means that 45.05% of the PS3's library in Japan is "gold" -- according to Famitsu's review staff, anyway.

    This puts the PS3 just slightly ahead of the Xbox 360 percentage-wise -- over in Japan, 104 out of 240 360 titles reviewed got gold awards, 43.33% of the library. The good news continues in the portable realm, with 23.2 percent of PSP titles going gold versus 17.14% of Nintendo DS releases.

    Here's a complete rundown of Famitsu gold awards divided by console. Note that Famitsu got a lot less stingy with review scores around the turn of the century, which is why the classic systems have far fewer 32-point-or-greater titles.

    1. PlayStation 3 (77/171, 45.03%)
    2. Xbox 360 (104/240, 43.33%)
    3. GameCube (87/240, 36.25%)
    4. PSP (90/388, 23.20%)
    5. Xbox (40/185, 21.62%)
    6. Nintendo 64 (38/183, 20.77%)
    7. PlayStation 2 (393/1997, 19.68%)
    8. Wii (50/257, 19.46%)
    9. Nintendo DS (152/887, 17.14%)
    10. Dreamcast (62/407, 15.23%)
    11. Game Boy Advance (90/618, 14.56%)
    12. Sega Saturn (52/930, 5.59%)
    13. PlayStation (130/2645, 4.93%)
    14. Super NES (55/1407, 3.90%)
    15. NES (34/955, 3.56%)
    16. PC Engine (22/628, 3.5%)
    17. Genesis (11/534, 2.06%)
    18. Game Boy (15/1071, 1.40%)
    19. Wonder Swan (1/179, 0.55%)
    20. Game Gear (0/184, 0%)

    My vote would go to PS2 still. Problem is it's a past console and the voters will focus mostly on newer consoles. PSP most definitely should not be that high up on the list.

    its not a voting thing, its a statistics matter. PS2 definitely had the most games with great reviews, but outside of those there was lots of other game releases that just didnt cut it. Similar story for the SNES and PlayStation, they had a library of near or over 2000 games and only about 100 were proper
