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

What Nintendo is saying: "Our products are generally considered, by critics and consumers, to be consistently good". That's not a bad thing to be saying.

Yes, Metacritic has a few methodological short comings, and there is a political issue of how it is used by the industry. But I can't see why Nintendo pointing to it as evidence that they're games are generally held in high regard is a bad thing.

I think it's funny though. Kotaku are generally fairly biased against Nintendo, whereas I don't think I've ever seen a negative article on them in Forbes. I think it's because they get such good quotes and headlines out of Reggie.

It's great having good  meta critique number that help sell the game, isn't?
