When you're talking about sport teams, do you do this too? O.o

Sheesh, some of you guys need to relax, I'll rather have normal fanboys that say "Gaystation" or "Halo sucks" than this mind breaking shit.

Sports?!  WHat's that!  We talk about games here!

Unless you're talking about MADDEN!  I know that Sport!

Madden isn't a sport.

I'm just trying to say that bringing up these financial reports and sheets and saying "Ha!" is a bit weird. We're relishing at the fact that a company's making profits (during a certain interval at least) instead of trying to argue that the console's features and games are better. It's like we're fucking Bobby Kotrick...

I think it's way better to discuss financials than which features and games are better. Financials are facts while features and games have no way to really objectively measure them.

Also, if you don't like this sort of discussion, simply avoid the sales forum. Nobody is forcing you to talk about business.

Financial numbers are facts, just like how much an apple is closer to "Red" is a fact, or how symmetrical one's face is, or how many polygons a car in one game has versus another. There are many facts.

However, if I'm arguing that chocolate is better than vanilla, I don't talk about how much chocolatte ice cream sold in comparisson to vanilla. I don't bring up the nutritional facts and calloric intake of vanilla versus chocollate. There are a shit load of facts out there, but they're irrelevant to subjective things, because there's no objective criteria or measurment of quality.

It's not that I'm against talking about sales facts and numbers, but I'm against USING those numbers to justify a subjective opinion.
