Yes, when you parse entire sentences to fit your assertions, it most certainly looks that way.  However, when taken in context, he's clearly talking about both arguments, past and present (otherwise, he would've just said he was talking about the present).  Notice, I didn't just parse the quotation to satisfy my needs.  I included it all.

Me too, but I underlined what sundin13 and I were talking about (the present, not the past). Is that hard to understand our point? I have been telling it over and over again since the beginning.

And do you not understand the point of the video?   That particular individual has seen/received/heard complaints about why it's been selling...for this argument, more than it's competitors?  If he, in the video, suggested that the current weekly sales were somehow meteoric, that's incorrect (LTD it's doing well for the timeframe).  But, I don't think that was the intent, I could be wrong but I'm not sure he was making an argument for the best selling console of all time.  It's the fact that regardless of the weekly sales numbers, it's still regularly outselling it's competition (The Wii, PS3, 360, PS2, PS1, NES, SNES, Gamecube, N64, Dreamcast etc.. are not it's direct competition), week to week, month to month, and typically in healthy fashion.

Think about it, if the sales from the beginning had been in the realm of what we're seeing weekly now, this wouldn't even be a conversation, because all 3 consoles would have low LTD numbers, right?  So, what sense does it make in taking just these weekly sales and making a point that's out of context with the purpose of the thread and video?

So yeah I just cut down all those quote trees.

As has been said already, keep them down. Maximum of 3 per post. Thanks.

Ok, thanks.

 

@ Burek & mornelithe: thanks for the feedback too.

No problem.
