My bad, it's just an ad hominem fallacy - instead of addressing the point, you just attack the commenter instead. And you've done it again. Good job. Now either address the point I originally made maturely and logically or don't bother replying. 

My post was not an ad hominem attack either, I simply suggested that your response missed the point and in fact by responding to you I could be guilty of going off topic. Again, my problem is your post, not you.

I would honestly ask that you read the OP again to see if you still think your post was a reasonable response.  The OP is not asking you to prove that the Wii U can't sell as he's not presenting his points  as proof that it will.

He is merely stating that he believes it is too early to make a final judgement on the system's sales prospects and appealing to people who feel the need to be constantly negative in the forums.  A sentiment with which I could not agree more.

Yes it was as you didn't address my points & even stated that "responding to you at any length would be doubly pointless."
That's an ad hominem. If you are going to disagree, at least bother to say why you disagree rather than declaring that you're right. By not giving any reason why you are right and yet declaring the other one wrong, you are not engaing with the argument but the poster instead.

And my post was highlighting the errors that the OP had made. Saying it is too early to make a final judgement is true, but claiming it is too early because the moon is made out of cheese is bullshit; I was just cleaning out the bs, nothing more, nothing less.
