That's more the case if you show some sort of aggregate 5 star rating on the front page, I suspect. If you look at peoples iTunes libraries they probably use 2-4 stars a lot and 1 or 5 stars more rarely. But on Amazon, people who think a book is 4 stars but see it rated as 3 stars are going to vote for 5 stars to push it up more.

They should aggregate the reviews by taking a median. That way there's no incentive to game the system.

Only works if people understand there's no incentive...
Which they won't, cause math is so hard...
