Look up there in my quote, I wrote "A" too, but B and C might still be murderers. It's pretty simple logic!

Strawmen arguments are arguments in which you attribute to your opponent a position he did not hold. You pretended Zucas defended Nintendo was immune to the problem he was illustrating. There's your strawman.

 

Still, he could have used the wii as "A" and not the ps360 but he chose the path that he felt would have the greatest impact on me because he realized I wouldn't care if it was the wii he used in the arguement. There's no denying that.

 

I think his reply made sense in context... When you are arguing with someone, you want to contradict their statements with something. There's no obligation to make the replies as generic as possible, when you simply want to prove a point about PS3/360. The fact that you decided to focus on this irrelevant point doesn't help your side of the argument. It would be much more productive to keep arguing the points in question instead of sidestepping so much.

 

If you followed our posts, you'd realize that he brought up the points as a counter aginst my arguement that games like: "game parties", "beer pongos", "mario does triple jump", "Barbie is moonwalking" etc. seem to be the future of the wii. He insinuated that endless sequels to sci-fi shooters and traditional adventure games that plague the ps360 are worse than the wii's future line up. So I had to show him that in that case, the wii line up is 100% craptastic with respect to the hardcore because all they have is sequels as well.
