Which consoles have the highest/lowest concentrations of good games?

Same goes for the NES: Winter Games, Dash Galaxy, Wayne's World, Karate Champ, Tag Team Wrestling, Hatris, Ghostbusters, Total Recall, Ikari Warriors II, etc.

I'm still convinced people hate that game (both on the NES as well as the arcade) because they don't know how to play it.

Now the firewalls:
** PlayStation
At 1240+ plus games, there are a LOT of overlapping genres, especially in the sports department. However, this was prime rivalry turf - it's where the dividing lines began to separate and EA began to lose ground on the sports market. Game Day and NBA Shoot Out were now over-selling Madden and Live in certain years. There may have been a lot of sports titles, but there were a lot of GREAT sports titles. There's really not that many truly "bad" PSone games. On the other hand...

****PlayStation 2
Is where things started to fall apart. Suddenly JRPGs started to all look alike. Legendary series were suddenly going in weird directions (Final Fantasy X's straight line travel, 3DO's horribly over-use of game assets and sequels, EA begins the exclusive assault and removes competitive game series rivalries after ESPN 2K5 sells amazingly well, etc), and there were too many companies trying to cash in on the wonder machine.

In effect, the PS2 was the original Wii - you need only look at the amount of budget title releases and flood of licensed games near the end of it's life cycle to see the same pattern. The only difference is the Imagine Series wasn't brought to the table.

I completely agree with this and was just talking about it with a co-worker yesterday. I really haven't been as enthusiastic about a gaming era since during the time of the original PlayStation. Don't know what it is exactly, maybe everything is just starting to look the same to me.
