No. It's the deviation from the aggregate. If you can't see how that is indicating bias then you're just not getting it.

 

Bias means active prejudice against a system not coincidental difference between scores. Again just cause you don't like the aggregate it doesn't mean bias. If you expect sites to look out for review score aggregates across platforms then you are definitely not looking for credibility but looking for them to cater to console fans. I don't care if the number was -20%, it doesn't prove bias.

 Well, bias can mean a lot of things. In this case it's statistical bias. You can argue against that all you want but it won't change the fact that there is statistical bias. Whether that shows systemic bias is another question. If you think the statistical bias is merely coincidental then feel free to prove why that is so.

So let me see if I have this right...   Some Nintendo fans used to bash 1UP because of their Nintendo scores and called them biased because of that table you posted (which shows a -7.09 difference)...  Yet I see some Nintendo fans posting and defending 1UP's review of Assassin's Creed (the original poster even claiming it confirms his suspicions about the game) even though it has a -19 difference in score compared to other sites on Game Rankings currently.  Do you see what I'm trying to get at?  Does anyone seriously not see the hypocrisy in this?  Are we really supposed to believe that if a 1UP Wii game review differs significantly from scores from other sites it's obviously bias but if it's a 360 game that it happens to it means that the review score should be trusted even more than those other sites? 

I'll be honest I haven't played Assassin's Creed so I have no idea if it's good or not and I'm not bashing or defending 1UP, I was simply pointing out something that I saw as unfair.
