It was an educated guess going by my, understandbly, limited knowledge of every company's financials. As I said, this stuff doesn't matter to me. All I look for is sales of certain games nowadays to see how well something I like sold. Did it sell a million or more? If yes, then my hopes are that it's enough to warrant a sequel for said game. That's as deep as I go with that stuff because that's what's really important to a gamer. I have no desire to research the financials and earnings of the console maker I prefer. Why should I? Even if I scoured the net and found something fitting to my argument, this would please me little as I'd just be entertaining a benign discussion I gain nothing from knowing -- as a GAMER. This begs the question: Why are you spending the extra time to find this stuff out? I only see you and a number of other people using this information to strawman arguments about Playstation vs Nintendo. Also, good job ignoring the meat of my comment and going straight to something you thought you "got me" on. Never mind the fact that I am not pretending to be a market expert here. As for reporting me, I really couldn't care less what happens to me on this site. I signed up to put in my 2 cents because so many of you are being short sighted in these discussions about sales. Also, i see reporting people as a tacet admission of defeat. Everytime I bring up what the sales should really mean to gamers, you guys ignore it, cherry pick arguments, and strawman people. This time, I direct an insult based on what's actually being said regarding people's jobs, and I get reported -- while the heart of my discussion is ignored yet again. If this is the purpose of the forums, then I'm happy to say I won't miss not posting again. I have no use for gamers who get hard-ons for sales figures simply because it shows their preferred company's "dominance". Welp, back to playing The Last of Us and trying to tackle my backlog of games. |
You can't be serious? Your calling ME a fanboy? You're the one coming into this thread getting all defensive! Funny thing is, you say I'm the one trying to spinn thisand ignoring your main point, while you're the one ignoring the fact that I didn't even say that I dissagreed with the first part of your comment. Talk about being defencive!
Don't try to spin this into "I don't care, cause I have games to play and you don't since your here arguing with me." Doesn't work. You are here just as much as I am, deal with it.
This is a sales site. You know what we discuss on a sales site? Economics and sales. If you don't want to do research you shouldn't jump into an argument either.
The point of reporting people is to make them stop being immature on the forums. It is more than possible to tell people how it is without calling them sociopaths, it was uncalled for and report worthy. Read the rules next time. Has nothing to do with "defeat." If I felt defeated I would leave your comment alone after reporting it, not quoting it and replying.
