I believe Shio is simply taking what this developer said at face value. Theres already a huge red flag in the OP about the figures being what the developer feels is realistic.....it doesnt take much to infer if the developer feels these are bad sales then he must feel his company is in a better position selling via PSN.
Sure, i could be gullibe but if this guys making decisions for these people slives and families and they area group of 4 people, who should i believe in terms of whether or not those sales are justified or whether or not its agood decision? Some random internet person insulting me and argueing for a company they have no ties too....or a developer of a critically acclaimed game speaking at a developers conference?
I see youre slightly on edge for some reason and cant enjoy a little internet forum humor since this is so serious. But i wasnt trying to be mean spirited with my comment about guessing, so your insults arent really well placed, but carry on with your anger.

@ bolded. I know your not trying to be mean spirited. I was merely responding to a smart ass response with a smart ass response.
Of course its the developer who knows whether the sales are justified or not. no argument there. The argument is that he provided data for XBLA as a whole and claimed it a slaughterhouse without even providing data for PSN for proper comparisons. It just seems like he is speaking for all developers of XBLA.

But in the real world do you begin each statement you make with "in my opinion" or "in our opinion" or "not to speak on behalf of everyone" .....no, you dont. When one speaks or answers a question its generally assumed they are not speaking on behalf nor trying to represent the entirety of either their field or mankind.
Unless one is officially representing a group of people or claims to be, i dont understand why people dont understand whats being said is their/his feelings on the mater.
Had he said "its a fact...." or something along those lines id be right next to you, but its easy to distinguish that hes giving a presentation, or answering a question and giving what HE FEELS and giving reasons that his company chose what they did.
EDIT: and claiming someones not smart enough for anything isnt being smart ass, its a personal insult....theyre quite distinguishable

LOL at edit...In your first quote, didnt you humourously implied that i wasnt smart enough to know that the developer is not part of VGchartz..Go back and compare what you wrote and what I wrote it was clearly a mimick of your first post.
I never said that it was a fact, read my previous post, I clearly said "it just seems like" he was. As implying slaughter house for small developers, based on a so called research.
