Very interesting. I'd say they do matter, cause informed buyers check reviews before investing in their games. The thing is, sometimes the user's average is a better information source, cause it tells you whether regular people who actually played the game had fun with it or not.

Not on Metacritic it doesn't.

@Kantor: How about Wii Music? Or Wii Play? How does Mario Kart Wii stack up to previous installments? And so on.

And just to make it clear this isn't a Nintendo specfic thing, Need for Speed: Pro Street (73) crubs stomps Burnout Paradise (87) in sales. Army of Two (72) outsold The Darkness (80), Battlefield Bad Company (85), and The Orange Box (96).
