Right, well I missed all of this.

I come back to see that Th Source thinks the 360 isn't doing great... even though it is. (nothing new)
and that Vita apparently is doing great even though it isn't? (200k is still poor, just not awful - people seem to forget that they thought the 3ds was doing bad at that level)

Well when you expect shitty sales and get mediocre sales instead you should be pretty happy about that, shouldn't you...since it is better than you expected.

You expected the Vita to sell shitty?

I think he's specifically talking about your expectations.

Like above, you say 200k is poor, not awful, but people thought 3ds was bad. So, 3ds is bad, vita is poor in your own words.

Additionally, people said 3ds was bad and failing because we hadn't reevaluated the market properly. Now we can do that. We can't just call something poor simply because we called a misunderstood market poor before. It's not like people called the 3ds poor, so now we have to call the vita poor to be fair. That's like saying that previous to understanding learning disabilities, we called people stupid, so now we haev to continue to call them stupid because it would be unfair to those previously called stupid.

Vita sales, for the moment, are acceptable. They're not good, they're not great. They're within a range where people probably aren't getting fired over it.

You would be right to call them poor had the vita come out first, but since it didn't and since it's comparative to 3ds initial sales, we can accept them.
