Using Metacritic as a judge for multi-platforms is a bit naive...it's not the same bevy of reviewers, so how can you judge them side-by-side? If a PS site gives a game a 90 score, and a Xbox site gives it a 85...you're going to compare those 2? that makes no sense...the OP article needs to do a better job of collating and translating data to make a point. That's like saying Football players are better athletes than Hockey players because they are stronger?
BTW, this doesn't des-credit Metacritic, imho, it simply points out that you can't use it as a blanket score, without understand what the data is telling you. It's like the Guassian Copula formulate that Wall Street used to cause the financial crisis...they mis-used it...and mis-interpretated what it was saying...not that it was total crap.
