Well, satisfaction chases a different topic. You said the console was "lacking". As I said, given the competing system has just one more game in the genre, both machines are currently lacking there (again, which makes sense when compared to the past).

Also, since we're talking about "Meta-scores", Need for Speed Rivals (PS4) sits with an 80 on Metacritic. I'd hardly call that: "mediocre".

Especially when that "mediocre" racer is rated higher than Forza 5, which he calls "great". A bit hypocritical.

I still say NFS is medicore regardless how it scored. I'd take Forza 5 or Driveclub over NFS:Rivals.

Forza 5 took criticism primarily for having less content than previous games. GT6 got criticized for being GT5.5. Driveclub is being criticized for just being mediocre.

Not to mention, Need for Speed only outscored Forza 5 on the PS4, where it had no competition. On Xbox One, Forza 5 scored a 79 and NFS scored like a 74 or 75. So there's no hypocrisy there.

Not to mention it's different genres of racing. NFS Rivals is an arcade racer, Forza 5 is sim. That's like saying if an NBA Jam game outscores NBA2k, then Jam must be a better basketball game.
