| bugrimmar said: yes, we all know about the surge of sales brought about by the 360 price cut in september. yes, 360 has closed the lead. but never forget that if you look at the entire 2008, the 360 and the PS3 have had relatively equal sales. focus on the entire year, not just the couple of months. |
Stop saying "at this point in time" and "as of right now" when you are talking about averages over time.
If I asked you how much you weigh on average, are you going to do this?
Age weight
1y 8 lbs
2y 20lbs
3y 28lbs
....
16y 150lbs
So, on average I weigh 82 lbs
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
