This is completely nonsensical. Again with the demands for me to support things I've never said with evidence. I can't own up to my words if they aren't my words!
It never has been and never will be "on me" to prove they can't make the product you proposed. That's not how logic and reason works. That's not intellectually honest. As much as you might claim otherwise, It's your assertion they can, so the onus is on your to provide evidence to support that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy)
I'll even quote the parts that apply (emphasis mine):
"When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo."
You made the claims, and/or propositions in your original post. I disputed them.
"One way in which one would attempt to shift the burden of proof is by committing a logical fallacy known as the argument from ignorance. It occurs when either a proposition is assumed to be true because it has not yet been proved false or a proposition is assumed to be false because it has not yet been proved true"
That's exactly what you're attempting to do. You don't get a free pass just because it's a "wish list". Seriously. It 100% really, totally, is on you to back up your claims.

It's fascinating how even after I post direct quotes from you, you're still refusing to accept that you said my idea is too costly and being arrogant about it. So you're saying all your essays in which you were summing up parts and features of my console (da expensive PSN network connection! Da expensive PCB! Da world class upscaler! Da CD rom drive! etc" was for nought. That's insane man. Also, wishing for a product is not an assertion, learn the difference. This thread is a wishlist and that's what the OP is about. My only assertion is that a company like Sony has the means and resources to make my proposed product cheaply. You're the one asserting they can't do it, but so far you've failed to proof or convince me, but I guess that was never your agenda the way you acted here.

You post direct quotes from me that don't actually say the things you're claiming they say! I'm not sure what else to tell you other than that you are misinterpreting what I am saying either through poor reading comprehension, or intentionally as an underhanded argument tactic.
And actually, saying things like "Something like this shouldn't realistically cost more than $99-129" are assertions. Its as if at this point you're intentionally misusing words in an intellectually dishonest way. I'm not going to attempt to reach standards you refuse to hold yourself to.
