An unfavorable view of certain aspects of the console doesn't mean Gamespot is going to give the PS3's games extra harsh reviews, that doesn't even really make sense. I mean, is this what you think goes on?
Alex: "Wow, PSHome and Little Big Planet look great! Wish I knew about that before the Motorstorm review, I would have given the game an 8.5!"
Jeff: "Why? What does PSHome and Little Big Planet have to do with Motorstorm?"
Alex: "Well.. they just make the PS3 better... which makes Motorstorm better, somehow. I mean, Little Big Planet lets you create your own levels, and it's co-op, and it looks really fun! How can that NOT effect my review score of an unrelated racer?!!"
Jeff: "Yah, I see your point. Do you think we should change Resistance's score and make it AAA?"
Alex: "Nah, too late now. Too bad it didn't get delayed."
Obviously, the above is just nonsense. Heck, if anything, one could argue that an unfavorable view of certain aspects of a console would cause Gamespot to give PS3 reviews better scores, because they judge games partially on the standards of the system they are on. (For example, Twilight Princess got a 9 in graphics on the Wii. It would probably have scored a bit lower in that regard had it been released on the more powerful Xbox 360 or PS3)
