it was just an example. I know none of the math is accurate.
The result could be anything. It could be 10 down, it could be 3 up, it could be even.

It's just a possibility and nothing more, and won't ever be anything more.

Yeah, but regardless your math doesn't work out... number of reviews in no way means Uncharted 2 should be rated higher if you know anything about statistics. 

Unless that was another one of your jokes i'd suggest relooking at your statistics books.

All having more reviews means is that your scores are more "accurate" as in it's more likely it's around there... pretending that review scores weren't subjective anyway or treating it as a metastudy... this means nothing in relation to the games themseleves however since there is an equal chance of OoT being underrated as there is overrated.

What people are argueing when it comes to more numbers is that review scores go down as people get in more reviews, mistaking more reviews bringing down the score vs the natural reality that no matter how many reviews a game gets, the good ones are going to come first, and the bad ones are going to come last.
