1) No video game that sells a million is irrelevant unless it had exorbitant costs. 2) The person I was responding to was asking a question, and I deliberately used the phrase "on the same order of magnitude" precisely because I knew if I claimed it was selling "nearly as much" or even "on a similar level" would get someone arguing about it. |
I didn't say a million was irrelevant, I said that the distinction between 1,000,000 and 999,999 is irrelevant. Every Nintendo home console has sold at the same order of magnitude, but is that relevant information?
The second point pretty much ties into my answer of the first. Just because your argument is technically correct doesn't mean it supports the point you're trying to make.
