People are too subjectively driven, so if you want concrete answers, you have to think ahead and make sure you plan for it. This thread ended up solving nothing. I mean, someone mentioned Sonic the Hedgehog, for crying out loud. EGM gave it literal 9's across the board (and one reviewer scored it above SMW). It, and it's three successors were titanic, industry-changing phenomena. If  that doesn't defeat the purpose of his thread, I don't know what does.

What was this thread supposed to solve?

It was suppose to solve the question of which franchise made a comeback after a poor start. It did not do that. Narrowing it via meta scores would have.
