ha yea sure metacritic and them remove bias. I don't care how many reviewers you use in your final average it is bias against your so called "casual" games. It's like asking every person leaving the stadium in the World Series what they think of the show "Desperate Housewives"
The huge majority of the people at the World Series are gonna be big sports buffs and sure you might have a couple wives or something that do like the show, but that will be so small that it won't even matter. And in statistics it will be outside the range of acceptable values and will be thought of as an anamoly, and thus thrown out.
SO yes having a big group of people all do a survey is supposed to remove bias, but if you are taking that survey from a group that is all biased towards the product in the first place then no it doesn't. So in this case because the reviewing system is biased and sales are a beter representation. Tell me a game that has sold a huge amount that was unplayable. None, no matter how dumb you may think the consumer is they don't buy something that is unplayable. The word will get out and stop the sales. And don't say you will find Nintendogs or something unplayable, you just don't like it. I could come and say I would never buy Killzone 2 because of reasons and all that and you would never accept my decision and say I'm stupid. Yet rave someone saying that Carnival games is horrible.
