So if there are next generation consoles competing for shelf space, that shelf space is only going to come out of the lowest selling consoles alotment. It happens every time a generation switch over occours, and there has never been a precedent where 2-3 next generation and 2-3 current generation consoles have been sold at the same time at retail. So why would we face anything different if the same basic reasons behind this are the same? Since the PS3 is the lowest selling console, it will be the first to get kicked to the curb. |
"That's what I believe. Does anyone have any good reason to counter that without referencing a 10 year plan?"
Right there, Squil is asking people to make a counter argument against the statement made in his thread title.
He then goes on for a paragraph without mentoning 2012 a single time in his entire argument. He offers to no proof to justify his thread title -- and then he asks people to argue against it. . . presumably from an emotional perspective, since there is no specific argument going on here.
Look night, I'm definitely not trying to get squillium banned, and I don't think he deserves a ban -- I mean come on, he's good company! No drama is necessary here -- I'm just saying that he offered no data or proof of why he "believes" 2012 will be the American death knell of the PS3.
Perhaps he should have made his main argument (and title): "PS3 will be discontinued at some point in America." Hmm... inflamatory words, right there :)
Squil makes good posts and sloppy posts, this is a sloppy one... maybe he's having a bad day? Feeling obsolete?
New Star Trek?
*edit* Or wait, better thread title (a little more inflammatory, still part of the argument):
"PS3 will be discontinued in the US first when the next generation starts."
