| marc said: Right... well for someone in the ad industry youre not a very good thinker. If a company wanted a favor they would never do what you are suggesting because it would be plain . Instead of fudging with another companies numbers they simply bolster their own. Who can prove it right or wrong then? Everything is a conspirace? Dont put words into my mouth. There is a difference between using your head and following like a blind sheep or do you claim to work for NPD and can guarantee they are 100% clean? If not then I say use caution and dont believe everything you read but wait you should be all too familiar with that since you are in the advertising business right? "Oh, and I stopped buying Windows products five years ago. Obviously, there must be a choice in the matter because I own four computers." - hehe well since it takes oh more than 5 years to make a new OS that seems about right to me. You probably have at least 1 legal copy on those systems and if you dont it just means you dont play any current PC games. Congrats but what do PC gamers do? Your argument will be something like "well they dont have to play on the PC. Its your choice blah blah... bs" Its a monopoly or are you going to say that both the US and Euro courts are wrong? I mean seriously, NPD is ok but all the courts are all wrong and corrupt since they dont agree with your opinion!? |
Now you're resorting to insulting my intelligence. Nice. Way to drive home your point that, might I add, completely lacks anything involving evidence or anything past your own unfounded theories.
Again, the NPD has little to gain by fudging numbers, yet they have everything to lose by heading down that slippery slope. I don't know how to make that any clearer. And nice touch calling me a "blind sheep" for not buying into your baseless accusations about the company. They may not be the most accurate company in the world, but if they want to continue to make money, they're going to try their best. It's what they're there for. When you're selling your product to everybody, it makes no sense to help one company at the risk of losing another. You're already getting money from both, why risk it? There's absolutely zero incentive to do it.
Oh, and about the computer thing:
I own Macs. It's not as if Windows is the only OS on the planet. If you really hate MS so much as to stop running Windows, there ARE other options. Your refusal to acknowledge them does not make them any less real.
And why do you keep bringing up monopolies? What does that have to do with anything we're talking about here?
