    Interesting trend data that points to 360 games having higher review scores:

    Thats not really much to base a claim of superiority on. Now if you were to compare rating scores of multiplatform titles it might carry a little weight. All I really see in the info provided is that overall the last month or so has seen a lot of crap to mediocre games come out.

    Alright, I'm a 360 fan and all, but this is pretty ridiculous. Taking the average score of the last 10 games reviewed on Gamespot does not make 360 games better in any meaningful way.

    Thread Topic = Sub-Epic Fail. Not only does the topic not address why 360 games are better, it doesn't even establish that they are better.

    10 reviews? Come on. If I were a Sony fanboy, I wouldn't even bother replying.

    It was an ad-hoc study of the games released in the past couple of months.  I only wanted to choose games released in this time frame that have for the most part been a lot of bombs on just about every platform.

    You know your thread just screams "fail" when it's supporting 360 owners, yet the 360 owners are flaming the TC. Everybody has their own reason to like what they like, and no research will change that. I mean, if that's what you call research.

    That's what people in the closet keep saying..until they come out.

    Still, for the 10 minutes I did on research, I think I hit the nail on the head. Xbox 360 games are better & get a higher review overall when you look at the mean average of the past 10 reviews for 3 different platforms.

    It came from systemwars, the most trusted and unbiased source of information ever!

    My guess it was only made so that someone would use it later in a textbook as an example of bad sampling techniques.

    What's next? Xbox WINZ!!! Their games that start with "X", released on February 29, 2008, and reviewed by guys named Michael are higher rated than the PS3's!!

    I was expecting an actually good argument. But he uses 10 reviews? And then doesn't explain shit. Ok so he did some basic 5 grade math. Big whoop.

    The fact that even if these were facts that were inarguable, the point you're trying to make seems you're just obviously trying to be a fanboy an dnothing more. Especially with the title of just 'why xbox 360 games are better' This thread failed worse than a Michael Bay/Uwe Boll calaboration film would the second it was created.

    Uhm...yes. I was thinking my next topic would be called:  Xbox WINZ!!!

    Btw, this is some of the funniest insults I've read in quite awhile. I seriously doubt my 10 minute analysis is worse than an Uwe Boll film.

    It warms my heart to see this kind of reception on Giant Bomb to someone posting a link to a website called "systemwars".  Is this the haven I have been seeking for years?

    Haha Iraqi_Gangster, I love that one.

    Jayge, I know you are the person to use the Failboat around here, and I have not used it myself because you were the one to bring Failboat to giantbomb, but I think this picture is awesome, perhaps you should start using it?

    That's it. I'm just gonna have to hire someone to gather more data & show even more proof!  I'll take an average of all reviewed games for the consoles & PCs & then we'll see!  Just you watch.  I'm glad you guys got to use your Failure images. I guess there hasn't been a lot of Fail around here has there?  :P

    why? honestly... why go through any kind of task such as that, to prove what? a small amount of reviews or something claim this so you can feel better about acting like a stupid fanboy? I don't get it at all, but feel free I guess, just hoping it gets locked fast.

    LOL!  You probably never played Halo, seeing as how you're image is that of the old fogey from MSG4...where the hero is called "Snake"...we all know what that implies & your fascination towards them.

    Why should it be locked?  I'll get the evidence right.  It has nothing to do with fanboyism. It's about showing the data where overall, 360 games get better reviews.  Somebody must test the theory using actual data.  I'll hire somebody to do some of the grunt work & then show you the details.

    It's true, it goes without saying, but why not have some useful data for positive reinforcement against the cow crowd? :)

    That post is nearly as much fail as the original post, considereing you list 2 games that aren't even out yet, and have no way of knowing which platform they'll be better on.

    And even with games that are out and are slightly better on one console, the differences are so small they're not really worth mentioning.

    Dude, how good a game is, is a matter of personal opinion so all you're doing is just posting proof of other peoples opinions and even at that rate this thread does not use data representative of video game review scores overall. Indeed epic fail.
