^ But you know the games released for X360 and PS3 and the scores for the games. On top of that a lot of multiplats are both on X360 and PS3.

Someone else pointed out that an average without a standard deviation is meaningless... having a standard deviation would help show whether your example actually is true or nothing without having to look at all the data. The averages are so close you can't really say any is better or worse then the other.

Fine point sir. Now my inner math nerd is kicking in and making me want to go and calculate SD's for all of the consoles. Don't have time. . . must resist nerdity. . .
