What is the X axis? I mean obviously the Y is the metacritic score, but what about the X?
If I had to guess it seems like you are sorting the scores and taking the best rated from each console for the first point, the second best for the second etc...
In any case I once again take this opportunity to point out how worthless review scores are. I've been saying this for months, and it seems like just about every group of people on the forums has gone through a release where they scoffed at reviewers and every time I say "review scores are shite" and then a few days later they forget it...its sort of like a mosquito flying into a bug-zapper..or a child burning his hand on the stove.
As an entirely separate issue from review scores just sucking, there is the fact that reviewers are all hardcore gamers. The effect of this is that if you are a hardcore gamer and nothing else these graphs probably represent your view of the games pretty well. But when you're just a gamer, or a so-called "casual" gamer the graph is worthless because its all based on scores from people who by definition don't have your tastes.
