I didn't say "Source said this year is 360's peak". I said that he said that year 3 is generally the peak. This is 360's 3rd year, so that statement applies. Of course it could pull a DS, but last I checked, it's not selling anywhere near that, or the Wii. So the chances of that are slim to none. Who knows what will happen. I'm no analyst so I could easily be wrong. I'm not saying that I'm right, but I do have a great deal of histor with most consoles following this trend. We'll see come 12/31/09. |
No, either I didn't explain myself properly or you didn't understand. The leap from "generally speaking, a console's third year is it's peak" to "such statement will hold true for the 360" is not TheSource's, its yours. Your statement isn't backed by TheSource, is based on TheSource's research into past sales history.
So he isn't challenging TheSource's opinions and statements, but yours. Hence why he should take this to you, not him and why you should give a reason why you believe events will unfold in such a way when questioned about it beyond just calling upon TheSource's authority to back your own opinion.
edit: splitting hairs, I know...
