Being the most anticipted game in years, according to his sig, I would have assumed he would have been playing it all day!

Metacritic might as well be wikipedia. I dont use it for making decisions.

Very simple: there is more reviews for the PS4 Version, the notes in the reviews for PS4 and XB1 are generally identical (excluding specialized Xbox and PlayStation sites). They don't really take into account the graphics difference.

Well, there is not much to play on the XB1, so people are starved for games to play on their system, probably even more than on the PS4... they will like anything that comes to it, just because they are so thankful to get the attention.

Funny how most of those are exactly one point higher, like the bare minimum necessary to be the one on top. It's as if there was an effort to get it higher then as soon as it did the effort stopped...

Curious.  Wonder if a PS4 game got bumped to be higher if suddenly the Xbox version would also coincidentally bump to be just one more again.

you forgot to add that as its available on xbox thats worth an extra 5%

kidding...the results definitely are interesting. If the xbox version is technically not as good as the ps4 version then the results should be lower and not higher than the ps4. Not sure how MC can do this or at least manipulate to show but as has been observed the ps4 version has more reviews.

Another issue is some magazines have one review tested on one platform which they mark up as being on both. Those magazines or reviews need to be done or rerun on both so they can start showing the public the difference (MSFT wouldn't want that though so it may effect advertising)

Are you implying that metacritic is rigged?

Yep.  And look at Tomb Raider, it is obviously better on PS4, this shows that so much credit should not be given to Metacritic.

They all have a bias against Sony, obviously.

Because the expectation on playstation is always higher.
