| Squilliam said: @ Oni: What im saying is this. At the start of this generation there were no winning solutions, no way to beat the Wii because the mistakes that led them to the PS3 were made in the PS2 generation. Therefore you cannot just pick out Sonys "mistakes" and say that had they not made them things would definately turn out better. You cannot know how the changes would have effected things up until now even if given the chance to go back in time and force them to say not use Blu Ray. Hindsight is not 20/20, unlike the saying. |
You can't simply just say hindsight isn't 20/20 without any evidence or reason to show an alternative outcome you suggest as a hypothetical is just as likely. Sure, there is a slim, microscopic, chance anything could have happened, but that miniscule chance alone is not enough to ignore the facts, circumstances and knowledge we possess now that give us insight into what has transpired and how this situation has played out.
There are no facts, no logic and no reason to think that things would have turned out the same this generation (or equally bad for Sony) had Sony stayed the course. It is not an adequate argument or defense for one to simply say, "you can't know what would have happened so to make an assessment is by default incorrect" when we have all these facts and evidence to support what did happen and what most likely would have happened otherwise.
You have no argument, just silly benefit of the doubt which you are trying to leverage as an end all be all trump card. It's defeatist logic, as in to accept it is to forsake any value in anlayzing events of the past to discern the outcome of the future.
