If this is what it takes to be an analyst then i'd be up to be one. Making bullshit predictions and getting paid for it sounds awesome.

That's a distasteful comment not backed up by anything except bitter resentment.

I'm not making any predictions. I'm saying a common statement is not backed up by data. Please tell me why my gen-over-gen growth graph is flawed. It's as simple and straightforward as can be.

I'm not talking about a possible saturation point based on the growth of potential buyer groups in the world. I'm not talking about World War 3 causing a depression. I'm not talking about the advent of devices that displaces consoles in the living room. I'm talking about the actual sales of consoles every gen. And if you were to look into it then you'd see that people are buying more games now than ever before. So don't come in here and be negative without at least backing up your opinion (which is what exactly!?) with anything. Because people like that don't get the enviable jobs.

... I was talking about industry analysts. wtf? >.>
