difference in reviewers and gamers score in Wii and Xbox360/Ps3 games

The press score for the top 20 Wii games (excluding duplicates due to bundling) is lower than the gamer score on average by about 0.28 points. I was going to run the numbers for the PS3 and 360 to see a difference, but the Wii number speaks loudly enough. If someone can tell me a way to get games randomly from their pool I will do this over the entire library and see what it comes out to, but currently I am not seeing this bias. Being off by 0.28 on average tells me the examples here are the exception rather than the rule, and there is probably some other reason they are so much higher than the press score.

top 20 games are top 20, they receive great press score anyway, games like Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Metroid, of course they get their 9.5s

this research shows that gamer score is really logical and not random by 10s and 0s by fanboys as mr Torillian suggests, for my point of view

 

but what about The Conduit, Madworld, Tales of Symphonia 2 (i made the thread mostly for 3rd party Wii exclusives which are rated bad), Wii gamers love those games and rate them close to 9.0, but reviewers have very different tastes and just killl them

IGN starts to understand Wii better later, come on, Symphonia 2 and Conduit are not 6.5! JUSTICE!

	PRESS SCORE	7.0
	GAMER SCORE	8.9

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the new World

Mario Kart Wii
