Not bending any rules, just using common sense as to why metacritic is flawed. To which you obviously have no argument against.

Oh and Flower on PS3 only has 87%. You're telling me the PS4 version is better? Oh wait, exact same game...

You count SK on the PS4 as a 90%+ game even though Wii U has that game as well, but reviewers rated it lower. It's the exact same game for crying out loud!

And can you explain me the difference between counting Flower and any of the VC games I mentioned? I'd really like to know.

Flower is enhanced (visual + gameplay) and not a straight port blown up to run on HDTVs for one. SK has variance on all 5 platforms and the difference isnt big enough to lose any sleep over. You're just looking for ways to downplay and discredit the OPs original point. As "flawed" as metacritic is it still shows that PlayStation will always have the highest amount of games rated above 80 and 90. Only when you throw in specific conditions (that consumers dont care about) does the XBox or Wii U come on top, and even then its completely miniscule and subject to change given how Sony supports their consoles while the others tend to relax as years go by.

Wind Waker HD is vastly enhanced over the original and is scored much lower.

The only reason Flower is higher on the PS4 is because almost no one cared to review the game again. PS3 version has much more reviews.

And any VC game can be played on the gamepad only which means you don't have to play old games like A Link to the Past on a big HD tv, but on a nice small screen. You can also save any time you want which can come in handy.

And yes gamepad functionality is a big plus for me because I don't want to play Metroid: Fusion on a big HD TV or a GBA with poor backlighting.

I don't mind you saying PS4 will have the best games by the end of its lifetime, but please don't use metacritic as an argument for it.
