Which Publisher's Games Get The Best Scores?

[manred]

Picking through the bones of EA's analyst presentations from earlier this week, I found this handy little chart. It's innocent enough at first glance - it comes amidst a bunch of other, boring charts - but this one's a little more fun. It shows what each major publisher's average review score on Metacritic for 2007 was. What a handy reference point! Thanks EA. As you'd expect, Nintendo and Sony's first-party offerings top the list, while at the other end...you can see the net result of Ubisoft's fascination with shovelware and Nintendo consoles. As for Atari, well...the chart starts all the way up at 60%, so...yeah.

What do the actually get scored for? I mean, Hello! Sony doesn't make games!

I though that they have made some games, haven't they?

This chart is about PUBLISHING not Developing, you don't need to make a game, just publish.

The score is made up of reviews given to games and taking the average of that.

So the average score for a Nintendo published game is 7.5/10

nintendo seems to be one of the few companies that understands the concept that all good things take TIME.

i've rarely been disappointed in a nintendo title, which is more than i can say for companies like EA and Activison.
