You simply can't help yourself, can you? Gotta make everything into console wars, even though you apparently hate console wars. If you don't agree with a review, move on. GoW: Ragnarok is phenomenal and the fact you let 1 or 2 negative reviews get you upset instead of focusing the hundreds of positives is sad. Stevivor hasn't even released a review for the game and you're already talking about it like they gave it a bad review. The site gave the last God of War game an 8/10 so I'm not sure you know what you're talking about. 

Btw, I'm very happy for SSM. They delivered an exceptional well-made game. 

You mean they gave 14 points below the average for a critical acclaim? What do you think of their Death Stranding review?

This is a summary of where Stevivor was oddly above meta for Xbox and below for PS. The best cases

HFW 23 below, U:LT 22 below, DS R 17 below, BB 16 below (curiously the 2 souls game that were exclusive are majorly below meta, but the multiplat are very near it), GoT 13 below, TLOU2 13 below, DS 47 BELOW, DG 11 below, GoW2018 14 below.

Halo Infinite 8 above (and he said he wanted to give 100, but decided to hold because he saw 2 or 3 issues on the game, and later said he would reduce to like 65 because his 95 was based on he giving a good faith score believing the post-launch would be great and now he saw it wasn't), FH5 8 above (but no problem here since a 10 for a game you love is ok), Bleeding Edge 14 above, SoD2 14 above.

Can you with a straight face tell use SoD2 and BE is better than HFW, ULT, DSR, BB, GoT, DS, DG and equal to TLOU2 and GoW?

I'm not here to defend Stevivor or any of their reviews. I'm saying, ignore the damn reviews you don't agree with. I'm sure if I did some real research, I could find a reviewer(s) that gives most PS games all 9-10 and most Xbox games 6-8 scores. Getting upset over 1 reviewer giving scores less than the average is not worth getting upset over. 

Also, not every score is weighted the same. An indie game that scores a 9 and a AAA titles like GoT can score 8.5, but that doesn't mean the indie game is better. The only Xbox title that scored certainly higher marks than it deserved was Bleeding Edge from the list you gave.

This comparison list is also missing some notable games from both Xbox and PS:

Sea of Thieves 4/10
Crackdown 4/10
Battletoads 5.5/10
Killer Instinct 7.5/10
Gears of war 4 8/10

Spider-man 9.5/10
Miles Morales 9.5/10
Uncharted 4 9.5/10
Horizon Zero Dawn The Frozen Wilds 9/10
InFamous Second son 8/10
Shadow of the Colossus 8.5/10

Basically, the comparison list you showed is nitpicked and if included every Xbox/PS game, it defeats the narrative that's been created.
