The games were not of my choosing. I was entirely impartial I just used the top ten rated games on Gamerankings, and skipped over the unreleased, or those with poor sales tracking.
@Rainbird
Delays are irrelevant to the question. The quality should sell regardless of release date. In fact it only proves a point if the PS3 owners steer clear of a game due to it being released first on another platform. That means they are allowing an outside influence to taint their affinity for quality. That is a weakness.

Actually the sway in ratings proves that reviewers as a group can maintain their objectivity in the face of public pressure. We have to trust in the fact that they care about how they perform their jobs. In fact it probably causes a negative flow. In that they will be more critical in compensating for their own biases. At the end of the day that should cancel much of the hype out of the equation, and that the averaging will do the rest.
