| J_Allard said: One source of evidence does trump another when one source is a valid source from a leading warranty provider and another is a reader poll in a magazine. I mean.. if you had a debate going and in one hand you had actual data from Sony about something and in the other hand you had an IGN poll.. which would you think is more valid? It's clearly the first one, but something tells me if the IGN poll backed up your agenda you'd say it's just as valid. "could be as high as 35%" is still a far cry from the 54% or whatever was in the GI reader survey. And remember, your original point was that who knows "how much MS spent fixing RROD". Even out of that "could be 35%", 12% were not RROD and thus aren't covered by MS's extended RROD warranty. Furthermore as the article says, with the new chipsets, the issues are gone. They set aside like 1.5 billion for the RROD stuff. They also made 1.2 billion off of Xbox Live in 2010. Something tells me they're doing ok. I hope this has helped, I'm not really going to waste any more time arguing with someone who takes a magazine reader survey as fact. |
Explain why a reader poll is invalid evidence.
I really can't be bothered to educate you on how debate works as you obviously do not understand the nature of evidence. I'll be happy to continue this debate when you have the necessary education in the required fields.
"Something tells me they're doing ok"
If that's the crux of your argument, you really don't have an argument whatsoever. Never heard of net and gross profit before? Thought not. Why are you debating something you obviously don't understand? Would you argue magnetisim with a Professor of physics?
