So Sony games always seem to be the most reviewed games

Yeah, because those Xbox reviewers should totally mark it down because a version they never even played has higher framrate/resolution...

They can only review what's in front of them, and that wasn't the PS version. So what the PS version does is irrelevant to their reviews.

That's not really what I'm getting at here. In my opinion though, if you review games, you shouldn't be doing it on just one platform. It's a career, you should take it seriously and try to be objective. This means that the same person should be doing the review from an outlet on each platform. These are called standards. Is this an unrealistic observation? Perhaps but it only proves how subjective the review industry is and how a predisposed bias has no place in a field like that.

More reviewers = more objectivity

PS3 meta - 94%, 51 reviews

360 meta - 96%, 88 reviews

As I mentioned previously, the only valid arguement could be because of in game performance.

 

Literally the same case for mass effect andromeda, but still scored lower on PS4 despite more reviews. Some consistency would be nice.

Only in rare cases do sites give games a different score for the PS version and XB version.

It's just a case of more reviewers = more valid metascores and that could be higher or lower.

Whenever I'm talking about a games metascore I refer to the score with the most reviews. so if someone asked me what bioshocks metacritic is i'd say 96.
