Yep, you acknowledged them alright, and I'm just saying you didn't because that's simply what I do.

 

But seriously, telling me what I'm equating stuff to and lying about ignoring some stuff I said only tells me we should just stop this. In time we'll see who was right, so no need to get all worked up over this now, or ever really. It's just video games.

@bolded: Oh? What exactly did I lie about ignoring?

Just some of my bullet points, namely short term v.s. long term and the impact a $50 drop would have, or lack thereof.

Nope. Both addressed in my last post, no less:

"They cannot just magically cut the price so drastically and not feel the repercussion. It would make more sense to reduce less now that the BOM is still relatively high and then again in the future when it's cheaper to manufacture than it would be to reduce dramatically now that production cost is at its highest."

"WiiU, on the other hand, would be at $300 for the deluxe model with just a $50 price drop. That's only about fifty dollars more expensive than the seven year old PS3's current price and a full hundred less than the PS4. Selling consoles leads to profit, yes, but it's a balancing act and you have to be realistic about what is possible."
