| Wright said: It's because the amount of reviews that will go into both versions. Switch will receive much more than WiiU's, and as thus, a discrepancy can be created even with the smallest difference, because of numbers accounting for more (or less). The quickest example I can think of: Final Fantasy XV has an 81 in metacritic, but the Xbox One version has 84 despite both versions being largely the same (and the later performing slightly worse!). This discrepancy is caused because of the amount of reviews poured in. In this strange case, though, the superior version scored less, so it highlights the fact that numbers can change that much. |
Doesn't this just give more credence to the Wii U version scoring higher than the Switch version because it will have fewer reviews? For reference, Twilight Princess scored higher on GameCube (16 reviews) than on Wii (73 reviews).
