Since the Wii games are not HD or wide screeen by definition, Wii games often start with a one-point deduction compared to those of PS3 and 360. An interesting project would be to analyze scores to see if there is a bias for or against any console by any magazine/site/show. Any volunteers? Mike from Morgantown PS -- I feel that sometimes scores get mistreated in the upconvert. Three stars on X-Play (which has gone downhill since in trying to be a news show instead of a subversive review show, IMHO) is more like 70%-75% but gets coverted to 60% (three-fifths). Four stars is more like 85%-90% but gets converted to 80% (four-fifths). Any system not based upon 100 (or 10 with tenths) leads to distorted scores on meta-review sites. |
See Gameraknings "Lots-A-statistics" then "Site Statistics". All the work is done for you.
Just click on the website. Click on each console individually, and you can find the average deviated score from the rest of the websties on gamerankings. (For examle say a -.5 for the Wii showing games are usually rated .5% less. 7.5's should be 8's etc.) You need to do it for all three systems though as 360 and PS3 may also have .5% less in which case there wouldn't be bias but instead they are just a hard reviwer.
