This is all coming over as a little bit paranoid if you dont mind me saying and I dont mean that in a harsh or critical way, I just think you are seeing something that isnt there.

If I wanted to sabotage the Vita (although I am not sure how a guy from the North of England with a laptop can manage this) then I would be in all the poisitive or neutral threads bad mouthing everything about it. 

I dont think I have even posted in the "Official" thread and I make a point of not passing negative comments on things even where I see something I dont like.  I obviously have a name here for being negative toward Sony because I predominantly report financial matters and financial matters have been predominantly negative for Sony the last 4 years, so I dont compound that by getting into too many subjective debates about games or platforms. 

I think the only times when I have commented  recently have been where I said the Vita had a good software line up at launch and I asked when the new MM game was coming out.

The numbers are here to cause the very debate you mention in tour later post.  I put the numbers here to enlighten and to help clarify.  The thread actually appeared as the result of some rank bad journalism on this site where the site ran a news story saying the Vita was having a great launch, comparing apples and oranges.  It was so bad and skewed I couldnt let it pass.

It has also helped in the debate about the 3DS having an awful launch.  So it isnt just up to me to run the debates and arguments that follow these numbers, I facilitate those discussions by providing undeniable numbers and hard facts.   If some people then want to run off and be ridiculously negative or others (just as bad) want to deny them and be overly defensive saying all is rosy in the garden then that isn't my problem.  But I am not going to be censored from providing data because people cant handle it. 

Also, the thread exists as the site can no longer provide this data.  A few years ago there would have been no need as anyone could produce these graphs after a few clicks of the mouse.

That's how I mostly feel about you, I found your response odd so I addressed it. I actually can only think of one, maybe two, situation where you said something negative regarding sales out of nowhere and it caused a big fuss. Did someone get banned then for overreacting? I don't know what thread it was in, could have easily been a Sony thread and not specifically Vita. Sony's financials have been bad for a while but sometimes it just seems that's all you see and can treat them as if everything they touch turns to sh*t...so to speak. It was just weird that you address Mmmfishtacos for that generalization and it turned this into a long winded topic.
