Never look at user reviews for exclusives. Fanboys will rate it 0 to bring the score down and fanboys will rate it 10 to bring the score up. 

Yep. And we have a statistical tool to manage that: it is called Median.

But seemingly nobody heard of that when creating user-based scores. That's why the user meta scores are basically worthless. And many pointed this out in this very forums at the time Nintendo used Meta critics AND user scores for painting it's own games in a good light.

Or you could still use the mean average but eliminate all the extreme data.
