Remember that the gyro has a maximum turn rate that it can report. Turning faster than that (which is easy to do when holding the gyro in your hand) will cause signal overflows which translate into lower rotations report than actually occurred.

Try doing your test and turning the gyro VVVVEEEEERRRRRYYYYY SSSSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLLLYYYYY and see what happens.
