Quality =/= sales

Now I take issue with this, despite the point your trying to make.

Games that got 90+ in 2006-2009 can't be changed. But every rational mind would agree that if those games would be reviewed in 2012 they would get lower averages due to changing standards.

Sales aint quality, but it determines level of interest, the act of putting your money where your mouth is. Halo is a gamers game. KZ is more niche since it had significant hype and marketing at the time.

Sorry for being horrendously late to the party, but I had to respond to this when I saw it just now.

I completely disagree with the bolded statement. Just because a game comes from an older generation doesn't mean it's inferior to a more recent game, or will be judged to be inferior by critics.

Halo CEA was reviewed lower in 2011, despite being a high 90s game in 2001.

Perfect Dark Zero has a 81 meta.......it would not get a 81 meta in 2012. Perfect Dark got a 97 on metacritic....the upgraded in every possible way 360 port got a 79.....

Its common sense. It sucks but its reality.
