1 Doom article
2 Very factual analysis
What's the point of their regrouping again ? |
doom and gloom
And the 2nd article wasn't just a factual analysis, the writer's opinion was expressed and sometimes just plain wrong. For example, he writes "Now, it’s succeeding to some degree, though it’s still far behind both of its competitors."
Outselling it's 2 competitors each week = "now succeeding to some degree"?
2m behind 360 after one year less on the market = "far behind"?
And all 3 of these articles would attract largely the same reactions, discussions and arguments so why make 3 different threads for it?

The 2nd article was factual - in your example you should understand "success" as a financial / brand / etc ; the gamecube regained power for its brand and was financially sound - that kind of success
And yes, in terms of positionionning itself (again, think brand & financial power, partnerships) it is far behind.
He was not speaking "in terms of positioning itself." He was referring to sales, he mentions it previously and he mentions that the redesign led to a comeback, which is clearly referring to sales.
Still not answering - why regrouping them ? You don't seem to complain about "dispersion" on other topics...
No, I don't seem to. I'm not vocal about my complaints, but this doesn't mean it doesn't bug me. And I did answer the question. "all 3 of these articles would attract largely the same reactions, discussions and arguments so why make 3 different threads for it?"

Stop derailing my thread please, feel free to PM me though.

Don't confuse contradiction with derailing.
1/ If you only consider success in matter of sales no wonder you miss the entire point of the article.
2/ To be honest regrouping these articles is a mistake. The thread that follows has it's scope bonelessly extended to seemingly pro-Sony vs anti-Sony. We all know how specific points are easier to debate than these "all in one" blur. So your "answer" didn't highlight a benefit - on the contrary...
