Well I guess ExxonMobil might as well close down as well. Because despite making a $32 billion profit last year, they were outsold by about 2:1 by Saudi Aramco.

Your logic, not mine.

Well, your analogy is just as bad as his overreaction to less than 1 year into the generation. You cant compare a small margin division of a company with an entire corperation in a nonrelated market with completely different market history, future, and economic segment. He isnt saying MSFT should shut down. It would be like if ExxonMobile made lawnmowers or cars to use their gas and that division was being destroyed.

 

Ganted, the posted youre referencing is reaching when we are soooooo early into this generation so even the analogy i proposed is proposterous. But so is your rebuttle to him :)

Yeah I always go for the most extreme examples. Still, if it doesn't hold up it just doesn't hold up.

Yeah I'm a fan of analogies and I totally agree with your sentiment. The poster youre responding to is knee jerking hard. I say this about the current gen: Sony hit a 2 run home run. MSFT hit a 2 singles and has runners at 1st and 3rd. sony is is up 2-0 but all it takes is 2 strikeouts from Sony and a Home run from MSFT and its totally different.

I'm really hoping you understand baseball :)

really great analogy(if you follow baseball like stever and me)
