For me it is more a discussion as to what sales trends mean for the industry. Is it growing or shrinking, what genres are dominant, sequels versus new IPs, etc.

The only argument I've seen comes when tracking is really off such as VGC compared to NPD last month.

The same as myself. Yet I have come across craziness where people literally "HATE" someone because of their console. Seriously, because of their console. Man, if you had a purple toaster, and I had a yellow one would you hate me?

Where do you see so much hate?

I also just like discussing trends, predictions, likes & dislikes.

There are people who come on and declare such & such is the best console ever, best game ever, or a console will sell a lot more than is realistic.  Disagreeing with them is not hate.
