360 is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!111!!!1111!!
I love saying that.
OT: Judging by the history of this generation, by this time next year the 360 will be outselling the PS3 comfortably. Basically there is no historical precedent to support your FUD. You should clearly check all available information, and not cherry pick 2 months of data and generalize it out to the rest of the generation. This is bad math, bad statistics, and smacks of fanboyism (in this case, manipulating numbers to make the end result fulfill your wishes) |
LOL
Yeah as if historical precedent could have EVER predicted that Nintendo would be 1st and Sony 3rd!!!
No statistical model can predict what's going to happen. Short term extrapolation is all that works, and that's pretty much what he's doing.

Hmm. . . we're going to have to agree to disagree here. In my opinion short term extrapolation is a good way to cook the books (like Enron: hey we made 1,000,000 yesterday, therefore we'll make 3.65 billion this year), but if you want good long-term extrapolation you need long-term data.

My point is (a) you can't use data to predict the VG industry and (b) the only reasonable prediction you can make from data is SHORT TERM. Don't twist my words.

Ah, I get it. It was more of an understanding than a twisting, I thought you were being more general. My apologies if I offended.
