Can you cite any reasons why this generation would flip upside down after six years when trends have been firmly established in previous generations about two years in? I think Sony is dreaming if they think historical patterns are going to magically break themselves just for Sony's benefit. |
I think one of the worst things you can do, is to use a question as some kind of proof. Things are always changing. Hell, we have a black president, and even after a "historical pattern" of gay marriage becoming legal, there are now fewer supporting states than there were 4 months ago.
Edit: Summary: There are other ways to refute kjj's statement. You can bring up the sales trends of recent activity, the Wii nearing 50% and other things. But using a fallible argument, such as the one you used, "How could things change after looking at the past?", is only showing near sightedness. Things COULD change, but they will most likely not.
One thing that kjj does bring up, which is important, is that the decision makers at Sony have access to 150% of the information. And we have access to about 10% of the information. Sony does know what they are doing and they are doing everything they can, and if they can, they will upend the competition. As to how probable that is, they know a lot better than we do.
