Technically inferior Xbox One games have higher metacritic, WHY?

I'd be curious to see if platforms with more reviews consistently score lower than those with less. That's my assumption but I've never gone through and proven it and I'd be curious to see the final results if anyone ever did.

Yeah I always thought more reviews would help balance out the average by lowering the importance of the low scores. 

Very possible, I think my theory comes mostly from seeing some tiny iOS game or another with only 4 or 5 reviews consistently being the highest rated game on metacritic every month.  Seems to me like adding in more reviews would balance out the high scores in that instance.
