No dude you can argue with yourself for all I care the outlier is in their scaling when this is taken into account their scores match other outlets just fine as many have 6/7 as average as their scale. When people see a 6/10 from Edge they see it as a bad score when they're saying the game is above average and so on, 7/10 is good on their scale and this is a frequent score when a game is getting 8/9s elsewhere, on their scaling the score is in line with other outlets.
Being an industry magazine the spots 8-10 constitute games that have an innovative aspect to them as well as quality.
