Heh.

I do so love people trying to 'prove' their points using Metacritic.

And then those same people claim that metacritic is awful and should not be trusted.

Use IGN, seriously. All of their reviews are well-written and properly scored. I can't say the same about EuroGamer, Gamespot and 1UP. And guess what? All three of those publications' scores contribute to the metascore, EuroGamer with its MGS4 8/10, Gamespot with its Tools of Destruction 7.5/10, and of course 1UP with their Resistance 2 B+ (the same people that gave Soulcalibur 4 an A).

Metacritic is not a gauge of quality. It includes various publications that base their reviews on five minutes of gameplay, or a trailer, or another review. The three I named are among the BEST that metacritic uses.

Also, the X360 has more games, and more high-rated games, in general. You know this, OP, so I'm going to assume this is a joke post...

EDIT: Are you honestly going to get less enjoyment out of an 89, compared to a 90? Is an 84 fundamentally worse than an 85? And these keep changing, so a game can, indeed, go from being an 89 to an AMAZINGLY DIFFERENT 90+ AAA title as time goes on, and vice versa.
