The whole point is comparing the scores to their metacritic (or gamerankings) average. The question people are trying to answer is "how much lower or higher does this magazine review each consoles' games compared to the overall reviews they get?" Not that this article answers the question very well... I don't think it does, anyway. |
Using Metacritic as a comparison point is only valid if there is no bias in Metacritic. Or even if we have no better comparison using the top 30 doesn't allow us to draw any significant conclusions because the middle 150 could very well show Edge 'bias' in favour of the PS3.
If someone wants to argue that PS3 actually has qualitively better games (and hence deserves higher review scores on Meta and Edge) be my guest but the facts say there is no statistical difference between the mean scores Edge gives 360 games and PS3 games.
