It’s Official: PS3 Has The Best Library Ever

Posted by admin On March - 24 - 2010

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 launched. But there’s another statistic that he’d likely be more delighted to hear: According to a survey of Famitsu magazine’s game review scores, the PS3 has the highest-quality game library out of any console currently in the marketplace.

According to figures launched in the current issue, 77 out of the 171 PS3 games Famitsu has game 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 game 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 game reviewed got gold awards, 43.33% of the library. The good news continues in the hand-held realm, with 23.2 percent of PSP titles going gold versus 17.14% of Nintendo DS releases.
