Ok lets see what I said in titles and whether or not they are unbiased facts... Fact 1 : High Price Consoles never win! That is an unbiased fact. PS2 was $400 at launch but this price dropped when other consoles were launched. PS1 was cheaper than Saturn at launch and cheaper than N64 when it was launched.
Yes this is exactly what happened so far and it is a well known phenomenon. Please read out all the promises made before console launches and compare with the facts.
This is a fact (except for SNES thanks to Bundled Graphics Chip)
This is also a fact!
This is also true as "potential" according to almost every review so far.
This is also confirmed by both parties (Sony and MS) so remains a fact!
This is how it always happened and is thus a fact!
Okay, the "picking up" part is a fact and "gonna take the lead soon" part is extremely likely and almost a fact. Fact 9 : PS3 sales are far from building a momentum. This is also a fact that everyone knows that its far from building a momentum, at least now, and unless something very unusual happens this year. So for God's sake, which one is NOT an unbiased fact. Also... I live in Europe and Europe is not a small market but bigger than Japan but because its highly fragmented and heteregenous consisting of many small markets, its not very conclusive in the global trends. 1 Euro is about 1.3 Dollars but because of transaction costs, smaller elasticity and some other economical issues, Consoles and their games tend to be more expensive here (600 Euro instead of $600 and usually even more). |
pretty much everything BECAUSE your drawing analogies that stood true for the past yet seem to be under the impression this means they are true for the future....just because something happened with different hardware during a different time period during a different social time period doesnt project linear to the future...thats hwere your whole argument falls apart for most of those.......thena few of them are just assenine "SOny is NOTORIOUS for slow loading times" First of all NOTORIOUS is a subjective adjective thus not being a factual description so its counter productive to your point and secondly SONY is not the developer of all games, thus its irrelevent in the grand scheme of things.
Not to mention the whole post reeks badly of irony as your main point is projecting the future which in and of itself is anything but fact, hence your post fails and so do you.
