I believe they know more about that than we do on the matter. He (they) also went to Japan more than a couple times, and we didn't. And he can speak about the "industry" with way more inside knowlegde than we can. But ok.

This one here explains it quite well too

Famitsu is what it is. I just accept that. By the way, I'm not defending western reviews when I say this. Totally unrelated things - I never even use reviews for my personal taste, since I like so many "trashed" games. I just believe Famitsu is a pamphlet. You are there defending a magazine you never even seen or read. I like them for their news, but to say they review games with no external motivations attached to me is a stretch, and a big one. Or you can believe Resident Evil 6 is a perfect game for 3 different reviewers.
