Publishers: Platforms & Consistent Peformers - Part Three

As with the first two parts of our publisher summary, we’ll be continuing the table theme as we did with the ESRB’s and Genres. If you simply want to know who the most consistent publishers are, then scroll to the bottom.

These scores, averages, and counts are unique to the specific platform, and may not reflect the developers overall counts, or averages. Each Platform is represented by two tables, one displaying the most popular (frequency) of developers, and the second notes the highest MC scores in that Platform category by developer.

For reference, the green highlighted cells represent the highest value in that column, whereas the orange represents the lowest. For example, “Square Enix” has the highest value in the category, “Best MC Score” while the lowest score of the featured publishers is “Activision.”

The overall total will give us the most consistent publishers for 2008.  And the winners are:

The final two sections in the summary will provide some historic perspective, and we’ll also dive into some metrics regarding the media outlets that contribute to the Metacritic scores.
