Star Wars Arcade
Enemy ships follow scripted attack patterns
Wii Sports
Casual local opponents add light mind games
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Wars Arcade
Minor variation in enemy approaches
Wii Sports
Minor physics wobble and CPU behaviour randomness
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Simple technique tricks like bowling spin are learnable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
