Yes, I think it does happen with a lot of franchises, including Mario (2d and 3d), Uncharted (Uncharted 3 should have been much lower), The Last of Us (there was an awfully big number of people who played it and who didn't like it yet almost all reviewers gave it extremely high scores). I'm sure there are more but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

It's simple - journalist are part of the industry and because of that they have to hype big AAA games, even if they have flaws. Why ? Because bad metacritic = bad sales and bad sales = lower investments in the future=less games in the future=less reviews,articles,trailers etc.

Everybody cares about his feeding hand.

Not that simple, imho.

Plenty of AAA games don't get such high scores despite being AAA games. Plenty of 1st party games do well on meta while other 1st party games don't (e.g. Infamous: Second Son, 1886).
