Do you know what steam rolling is? Its  slow press and thats essentially what Sony did year after year until the 10 million console gap was decimated. Sony had outsold Microsofts launch numbers from the very beginning but being that Microsoft cut their marketshare in half MS games were being supported just as well if not better than Sony in the beginning.

Yes I do know what it means and you chose poorly in your definition.


Ok....so perhaps I used the wrong word. This changes nothing about the main point though. Consider focusing on the definition a victory I guess.


It was a crap day at work yesterday so I was being a bit pedantic to be honest.  I picked up on the word because had it been that case then it would have reinforced your argument, so the definition was important to highlight your argument wasn't as strong as you originally stated.  I doubt I'll ever change your mind on anything so it's hardly a victory.
