but he is on the right track here.

The pretentiousness of parts the gaming industry and some of its followers are becoming tiresome and a little embarrassing at times.

indeed, just like the pretentiousness of parts of the gamer community is becomming tiresome and a little embarrassing - I mean, come on, gamers talking about video game/hardware sales ? don't make me laugh

I dont think you know what pretentiousness means...

Numbers are cold hard facts that can be analysed and discussed, there is nothing pretentious about discussing them.  The artistic and story telling aspects of gaming is subjective and ethereal... which can easily descend in to a discussion full of prentiousness and with a hint of the emporers new clothes.

Nice try but if thats the best you can do then you arent equipped for the debate pal.

what a pretentious way of telling me that I'm dumb

hard numbers can be analysed - by people who are insiders of this industry and not by some boys on the interwebz

gamers should stick to gaming, like games should stick to gameplay
