Essentially an 8 from Edge is the same as 90 from IGN. Which is a good score. I actually wish more companies would use more Edge like scale.

But they won't. They still have this "7.9 and below is mediocre" scale, which spans outside games. I do agree with you, but that perspective will be ingrained in most people's minds. People still see a 7 as a bad score on most places. In school, for instance, a 7 is associated with the mediocre and disappointing "C", so most people drag that scoring perception everywhere else. 

If more reviewers take it as standard, will it change people's perspective on the rating system? Unlikely. It needs more time and a lot of fights like these.
