Really? I'm asking you to provide ANY evidence for your claim. You have provided NONE. And when I provided extensive evidence for mine, you then said that I was the one that was making an absurd claim without any justification for that, either. You have now made yet another claim that is completely unjustified - that your earlier claim is "something that is generally accepted on this site". Now, other than the fact that this doesn't make it either justified or reasonable (because most on this site would probably also call Wii Fit U a bad game, without ever having played it or even watched any videos of others playing it, for instance), it's also an argumentum ad populum. You might as well be responding to my challenges to your claim with "it just is" - it would be about as convincing. You have yet to make a single argument in this discussion for which you have provided even the merest hint of evidence. Guess what - not everybody accepts your claims just because you make them. I'm not going to bother trying to debate the actual argument anymore, since you have no interest in debating, and instead insist on resorting to using logical fallacies ad nauseum. You claim to be a scientist (a "social scientist"), but you have done NOTHING scientific. You have done the equivalent of going "god exists because lots of people believe in god", and then demanding that those who don't believe in god provide the evidence of nonexistence (which, of course, is impossible) - this is the approach of the religious nut, not of the scientist. I, on the other hand, have backed up every argument I've made with evidence, and then challenged you to provide evidence to support your claim. What is extraordinary in this situation is that you insist on using media-style spin to claim that I'm the one being unreasonable, and that you shouldn't have to provide any evidence to support your claim, while I should have to provide a massive amount, beyond what I already have. |
How can I provide evidence for an event which hasnt taken place yet?
thats why its called a prediction.
everyone on this site who makes a claim wont explicitly tell you they are making a prediction, you have to use your head to figure it out.
and like I said before, its not an extraordinary claim, and if you dont believe it, I dont care.
wii U sales will be insignificant compared to PS4 and xbox one.
there I said it again....do what you can about it.
