To say hype isn't factoring in the score for some games is foolish. Just look at GTA IV's score, Halo 3, Final Fantasy, Gears of War, Elder Scrolls, Mario. I could name many more, but I don't want fanboys jumping all over me.
Of course you can name many counter-examples, but the fact that hype was taken into account for any game tells me we shouldn't listen to reviews in the first place.
And I can guarantee you that at least 85% of "AAA" games had a good amount of hype, it's very rare that a no-name game gets 90+.
Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree. ME = OWNED :(
End of '09 Predictions:
Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million
