why is nintendo wrong to be proud of their metacritic scores?

I think Kotaku reacted like that because they're talking to investors. They don't actually care about metacritic scores they care about money.

100% agree with this; that's what this is all about. Investors in film studios don't care if Michael Bay movies get praise from critics, they just see that they make tons of money and smile. Iwata's job is not telling these people how much praise they get by the media; it is telling what the future looks like when it comes to profits and value.

Besides, as long as all these positive reviews and quality statements don't really help the console itself making waves in the market and developers shy away from the platform; it is completely irrelevant. Companies don't register stocks to maintain their integrity; they do it to make money.

And then in the end it'll just make the investors ask questions like: If the games are so good, why isn't Wii U selling as well as the other consoles?
