LOL. You really think so? It's cherry picking data at it's absolute best! The Wii was selling HALF A MILLION consoles all by itself!

Do I really have to make predictions? Didn't realize that making a thread implied I'd have to do that.

1) The article is working with the data that is available and pointing to future months not going to paint a different picture. With the trajectories the eighth generation systems are on, there's not much of a reason to disagree with that assertion.

2) Yes, you absolutely have to make such predictions when you make the claim that the console market isn't shrinking. Actually, you not only have to provide such numbers, you'll also have to explain (in a succinct manner) how each system is going to get there.

Huzzah, more or less exactly what I'm thinking as well. If you make fantastic claims; you need to build a fantastic case for it.
