You say most likely with only saying that they're higher than before. You've been doing comparisons across the line in all genres, across all consoles, over the past 10 years? That would require way to much time and effort, and honestly, you still have low scores given. You even have games that are hyped with lots of advertising still fall short in their reviews.

The game industry hasn't become better or worse, there were plenty of perfect scores back them, plenty of bad scores.

But when scores in a determined magazine changed that much (make that previous number 29 games 39/40) over the years, it's clearly their policy/methodology changed - radically. And for the worse, since Famitsu is now known in the industry to give good reviews for ads/money, they lost a lot of credibility.

Which previous 29 games are getting 39s? Exactly what game are you referring to? If anything, I'd say that Famitsu is right along with every other major global publication, for better or worse. Famitsu has that reputation, and yet has given plenty of games lower scores despite that. The White Knight series is a pretty easy example of that.
