| Sky Render said: I do find it humorous that so many "because I want it to be" predictions happen on a site that focuses on numbers. It's a bit like having a raging debate about religion in the midst of a science convention, though I understand that does happen from time to time. But yes, they do get old. Especially the predictions that are clearly not based on any evidence, which is particularly irritating on a site that is chock full of evidence. Though the ones that try to claim that the market is changing based on a single week of sales also get on my nerves. You can get away with that kind of isolated incident exaggeration on many sites, but not on one where the entire history of video game sales for the last decade is lovingly catalogued. |
I have a theory: exaggerations happen because MS fanboys want (consciously or not) to mistake USA for the whole world, Sony fanboys Europe for the whole world and Nintendo fanboys... well, er, ehm... the whole world for the whole universe!
