I saw a clusterfuck of obvious statements that any layman could provide. Sorry, Professor, but nothing impressive here.

Those things are / were not that obvious because there are still MANY people out there who claim that Xbox brand is too strong to have a market share less than 50%. All those statistics are not just my opinions, they are calculated and proven statistical estimates. Not just yet another person's willy nilly ideas who happens to guess when things are obvious. I have had those estimates the moment those consoles were announced.

Way earlier than that, I actually predicted even the architecture of those consoles, claiming that both consoles would use APUs from AMD, coupled with many cores (though I was guessing quad core) and abundant RAM (at least 4 GB). Now those things may seem obvious to you, when I had those predictions, 99% of people just flat-out dismissed APUs to be too weak, suggested RAM amounts too low etc...

It is easy to have day by day, obvious estimates. The art is estimating mid to long term based estimates on easily trackable and provable scientific data, and being very consistent on this.

And yes, I am seriously a college professor.
