I didn't say the launch reviews weren't fair.  A game can only be reviewed on the content it has at the time of the review.  The problem, however, is that millions of people buy games later, which is where launch reviews can let them down.  GT5 was like that--the game I bought was a lot better than the game reviewers had available to them on Day One.  It's becoming a common element with online focused titles.

But wouldn't you say the system you're proposing would further disincentivize publishers from launching a complete game on day one?

That shouldn't really factor in, to be honest.  Accepting a new business model or not is entirely up to the consumer.  The purpose of a review is to help the consumer make an informed decision.
