A very nice job but you missed my whole point. I never said the X-Play was consistently lower on their Wii scores than MetaCritic. As I mentioned, on the games they like, they tend to actually score higher that the average and they have given a reasonable number of the top games 100.
What I dislike is the odd pattern where a game is Great, Very Good, Good, or we score it so low that it is buried forever. They have way too many, expecially recently, scores that are so far off average that they are unreasonabe. Any individual critique that is 30 points below average on a 100% scale should be subject to scrutiny. They also should be infrequent. A 30% rate, which they have in the latest 35 games is unreasonable especially when they do not tend to EVER do the same thing in other consoles.
Obviously you could score half the games 30 pts below average and if you scored the other half 30 points above your graph would show no bias but then every review would be highly questionable. My challenge still stands. In gathering your data, how many games did you find for the XBox360 or the PS3 where X-Play was 30 or more points off average? Any? Anything close to 30%?
