I would argue against that (Wii games being docked points) actually.... Wii games are reviewed ok in my opinion, HD games are rated high though.
Wii games quite often get a much bigger scale of scores I seem to find, so one reviewer might only give a 5 or 6 when some others are giving 9s for the same game.... this is more like movie/book reviews and is a good thing because reviews are opinion with a few facts thrown in, and the score itself is entirely opinion.... as such it should change dramatically for certain reviewers.
HD reviews (as a progression from game reviews last gen) have steadily had "inflated" scores because reviewers are for some reason mis-trusted by the "hardcore" gaming community if they don't agree with other reviewers.... as such websites will get far more traffic in the long run if they keep rating games high, and in line with other websites.... it's true small name sites can get a lot of hits if they drastically disagree with others, but that is a short-term spike of hits as most people will forget about them afterwords.
