Attacking an argument is totally fine, and you do that with another argument and data, without any need to classify the argument because that doesn't have any value in the end.

It is equivalent to me saying your argument is dumb thus you are wrong. That doesn't prove anything, while your reasoning of why the argument was wrong were much better.

I consider it hypocritical of you that you are vocal against mocking and condescension in this thread while you are concurrently behaving like this in a different thread, specifically the middle section of the linked post.

Consider what you want. I didn't said he was dumb nor that his argument was illogical, I countered with why the argument was wrong and said that if same line was followed analyzing PS4 then it would have to sell to much.

And there is also a difference between discussing with one user that a sales projection is wrong on the basis used (X1 would sell 70M solely on merit of GTA 6 launching for it, and 80+M if it also had a good reveal) than saying all projections for the future that are bellow 80M are so wrong that you are utmostly baffled. One is analyzing the past and making a very objectively wrong assumption (60% increase in sales due to a single game launch, when the predecessor game already launched on it even if crossgen) while the other is generalizing and ignoring any point made by different people of why they think the console would sell 80 instead of 100M.

Also I have nothing against mocking people, I would even encourage (not here because it is against the rules, and discussion also doesn't involve mockery), but the person doing it must acknowledge he is doing.
