| Kyros said: Looking at past numbers can and does serve as a good predictor of future results. Yes if the market is as stable as DS vs. PSP which are in the second half of their life-cycle. That's not the case for the home consoles. Wii and PS3 are 18months old. The PS3 still costs 400$ and christmas will be around soon. Last September the 360 outsold the PS3, the Ps3 had nothing to play and did cost 600$. A couple games a new SKU and a price cut later and the PS3 outsold the 360 during christmas. Predicting the future by past results would have been as stupid then as now. |
Sheesh, he just wanted a discussion about it, and to start a discussion, the best way is to provide a way forward. You keep talking about the way he did it, and what's wrong with this way, while the TS just wanted a discussion about how things are looking for Sony / Microsoft.
You CAN make predictions (hell, predictions are prone to being wrong, but that doesn't stop people from making them), based on what you know and what you PREDICT will happen in the future. One could be wrong the next week, or one may actually have predicted it completely correctly.
What you are saying is "don't predict, it's stupid, because you can't predict things that are not susceptible to predicting".
As other people have said: Stay out of the thread if you don't like it.
