I did just prove that Nintendo couldn't, at the very least buy Playstation. If you feel like my estimates are weird or unrealisticially high, feel free to point out so (which I'm guessing is what you think, given it's the only ay you could say I haven't proved that Nintendo can't buy Playstation.)

But if you mean that since there is no official figure for the value of Playstation, you can just claim that Nintendo has enough money in the bank to buy them, because after all, there's no way to absolutely, with 100% certainty disprove it. The closest you can get is to make reasonable estimates and use some logic and use what evidence we have to come to some pretty safe conclusions. This is sort of like the argument about an all-powerful God. I mean, I can't with 100% certainty disprove a God, but there is no evidence backing it up, and there is nothing that should make me believe it. In this case though, it is a bit easier to come up with some evidence (which I did).

But you are right, if you aren't gonna provide any counterarguments, and just wave away my evidence as, then this isn't a good use of time, so I won't reply anymore if you aren't interested in seriously discussing the matter.

You do have estimates. But it doesn't prove anything.

I guess I was wrong to say Nintendo could buy Playstation when I meant Nintendo could probably buy it. This is due to me not having the evidence. 

Happy now? I waved away your evidence because it certaintly doesn't matter at all in the scheme of things. I did not ask for you to estimate or provide any evidence of what could happen.

Sometimes people  say stupid shit unintentionally or intentionaly and you just need to wave it off man. Not everything is worth arguing for. Once you learn that I'm sure it'll be a lot less stressful to get on these forums. :) 


Judging from the evidence I've given you, I'd say it's more a probably not than a probably

 

As for the rest, well, I'm not sure what you mean by "it certainly doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things", because the same is true for literally every single post on this forum. And no, you didn't ask me to provide any evidence, however I figured it made sense to provide evidence when I'm making a claim, and I'm sure you agree on that

If someone says something wrong, and it looks to be unintentional, then I don't see a reason as to why one shouldn't try to inform that someone, instead of just letting them keep their misinformation. That is not the same as arguing. I'm not trying to convince you of something, or to try and change your mind about anything. I'm just trying to correct some apparent misinformation, take that as you wish. No offense intended.
