| Andir said: Speak for yourself. Besides, using "everyone" in any context is the same as someone saying that the PS3 is infinately more fun than something else. It's a matter of persective, and there's very little you can say that would equate to "everyone" or "all the time." I suppose I should start a thread with the title: "Girl Gamer Elite says everyone was too poor to buy DVD players." Because that's how Sony is being treated lately by people like you posting in a Sony PS3 discussion thread when it's clear you don't have a desire to own one. Trolling. |
Phrases like "everyone thinks" or even "most people think" are defined as weasel words, which is what people say when they don't have or don't feel like getting the evidence to back up this claim. However, in this particular case, there is ample evidence (like this NY Times article) that the demand for high definition movie players is far less than the demand for DVD players when the PS2 launched, and it's been brought up in previous threads on this subject.
In short; you're splitting hairs. GGE is not assuming that her opinion represents everyone else, and it's great that you have a different opinion. But right now, more consumers agree with her than with you. That doesn't mean your opinion sucks, but it does mean that Blu-ray is less of a selling point for the PS3 than DVD was for the PS2.
