The point being...? Look, as I said, I'm not calling out MikeB or John_Doe. It's entirely possible that they didn't believe the 2007 Sony lineup would boost sales. But there was a VERY significant number of others who DID expect these games to boost sales. Go back and look at this forum in early to mid 2007. (Everything is archived, if you're willing to go back far enough.) Our sales forum was awash in Sony fans claiming that as soon as ____ game came out, the Wii fad would be over and PS3 sales would explode.
I respect the opinions of others. What I don't respect is revisionist history, that tries to whitewash the past and pretend "no one claimed those games would boost sales." Because that's bullshit.
Thanks for backing me up, rocketpig. You were around a year ago, you know what I'm talking about.
