The Nintendo DS COULD eventually become the best selling game system ever in five years. ..........ioi COULD sell this site to Google for $1 billion is my prediction! |
That's just how analysts and researchers are taught how to talk. Like seriously it's the first thing they teach you in statistics classes, you use phrases like "Could" or "the data shows that it's likely" you never use definitives because there is no such thing as knowing something 100% no matter how sure you are of it.
