Haven't you figured out that I'm an idiot yet?
Well I linked the two items because Nintendo is actually proud of the game. Damn proud for sure, it's one of the best games Nintendo has ever put out. Now, look at Ubi Soft... do they look confident? Or Microsoft for that matter? (It's not even their game, is it? Just on the Xbox for the moment, huh? Huh? They've only bought a licence for the coming months.)
I played SC a few days ago and I couldn't really call it completely jawdropping. And that's not comparing it to anything, especially Metroid Prime. But, they both merit good marks, and if I do say so myself, I'm liking Metroid Prime a little better. The support from Nintendo is fantastic, whereas Microsoft is almost 90% focused on Xbox's "Live" capabilites.
Plus, I don't think sales positively hinder the score in the end, don't you? Even if every household had a copy of GTA:VC, it doesn't mean it's the best game possible. There's something called "Word of Mouth" advertising where biased individuals praise certain things, and sometimes inexperienced opinions about one game may completely cancel out the obviously better game.
Besides, I never really had the "WHEEEEE" factor in either SC or GTAVC.
