You'll almost always see numbers hovering around the 6.5 to 7.5 range for just about any video game publication on the site. Even sites like Destructoid that go out of their way to say that "average starts at 5" have their average review score listed around the 6.5 to 7.5 range.

You're assuming that every website or magazine is reviewing every game ever releases. When in fact they only stick to those with higher standards than the average to begin with. Most publications don't even bother to do a review for all that shovelware that comes out constantly on steam, PSN and Xbox Live, let alone those titles on mobile platforms. If you take those into account, I'm sure the average will drop to 5 quite easily as many of those games deserve a score between 0 and 1.
