GameRankings posted an interesting statistic today. They measured the amount of games per console that received an average of 80% or better (which constitutes a good game) and the amount that received a 60% or worse (which constitutes a bad game). Interestingly enough, the PS3 came in with the best average with 33% of games receiving 80% or better, but that might also be a result of the console having the fewest number of games. The 360 came in an impressive second with 26% of 374 games, more than double the number of games on the Wii and more than triple of the PS3’s games. And the Wii? Well it came in the last with only 11% of games receiving a good rating.

I figure that most people probably expected this with the lack of regulation coming from Nintendo and the increasing number of copy-cat, gimmicky games coming out for the Wii. I think this is as good as time as any for Nintendo to come out and start to invest some more to get more innovation into these game. But I wonder if they really need to, with over 5 million consoles sold.
