I do understand where you're coming from, but I don't think that's necessarily fair.
For example, if it scores low, what's wrong with that? It means that it's been scored in line with other Warriors games. I think that's to be expected.
If it does get scored highly, you have to look behind the reviews. Do they say things like "it's amazing to be able to explore through locations from previous games" or "I've always wanted to play at Ganondorf!" In which case, the score is being inflated by the Zelda licence and it probably does deserve a little flak. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you can understand why people would complain.
And it'd solidify the game as "buy if you enjoy Zelda; don't if you don't".
Regarding sales - One Piece Pirate Warriors sold ridiculous numbers for an 8th gen Musou game in Japan. It's obviously a case of a famous IP pushing the series to much higher sales than it deserved. If Zelda does the same, then it's just another case of that. Is there anything wrong with that? People can moan, just tell them you disagree (like you've been doing with me this whole thread :P)
And if it bombs, then yeah, people will call it a bomb. Same as any other game that flops!
