You see there is quite a disparity between commercial scores and user scores for most xbox one games. Now Microsoft are an aggressive company that hold a lot of power and influence and have been working super hard on a PR offensive to push the xbox one as both powerful and with well reviewed exclusive games.

However you click over to wii u or other formats and you see the commercial reviews and user reviews are far closer?

Why are commercial reviews so positive towards xbox one games when user reviews for the same games are so low.

It may not be Microsoft pressure, it may be dis-satisfaction with the performance of the console, or perhaps a lack of content on many new xbox one games like Titanfall and Forza. I don't know but the wii u looks much healthier with high commercial reviews often matched with high user review scores. There is something suspicious about xbox one commercial reviews.
