PS3, Xbox 360 and review scores - which format scores higher?

Ok, it's Wednesday and the weekend still feels a long way off. What better way to get through today then a classic PS3/360 stat fight? Oh, go on then. Edge Online have been crunching review stats and come up with some goodies. The most interesting is that since launch in 2005 around 13% of Xbox 360 titles have review scores of 85% or higher. This compares to 17% of PS3 games.

At the other end, 38% of 360 releases have scored 65% or lower compared to 30% of PS3. Clearly you need take total release numbers into account. The 360 has more titles than the PS3 so the 13% of 85%+ 360 games is actually a higher individual release total (48) than the PS3's 17% (36). So what does this all mean? Does the PS3 have "better" games than the 360 or just fewer terrible ones? Or is this just an easy excuse to start a PS3/360 debate on a Wednesday morning?

You’ve read it. Now review it.
