Pointing out facts = butthurt?

Whatever floats your boat brah. 

Because pricing doesn't work that way  it is because costs associated with it. At the end of the day, Wii at 250, and PS4 at 400 is what they would be priced at, hell Wii could have been 200 on launch if you most likely want the break even points to line up, but it just means they reflect their value at that time. The reason I say butthurt, is because that is the only excuse, and I use the word excuse, that people are presenting "What if PS4 was priced at 250, it would have outsold the Wii, and it would have....it would also bankurpt the company."

Why are only few sony fans seeing the obvious hole in the argument. 

Not sure anyone said, "What if the PS4 was 250?"  I think the argument is more that if the Wii had been $399, even with more power, it wouldn't have done so well.  It had the right balance of power, price, and casual appeal.  Also, one would be foolish to deny Sony could have had a pricedrop to $349 last year and kept the momentum going more than it has, without taking a loss.  However, Sony is focusing on profit more.  Seems to be that way in most regions.  I think UK is the only place where they answered XBO's price cut.  Regardless, it still would have been hard to compete against all the casuals that the Wii brought in in these next corresponding couple of years.  That it did it for a about a year is quite amazing.  And in the end, I doubt the PS4 is going wind up behind the Wii.
