Do you think Google Stadia is doomed to fail?

There is a world of a difference between an "assumption" and highly educated guess. Online will not be free, and we both know it.

"The PS3 will not cost $599, and we both know it".
"The PS4 will at least be backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games, and we both know it"
"There will not be a mid-gen upgrade of the PS4, and we both know it"
"The PS4 will just have a new version of the dual shock controller, and we both know it"

I've said things along the lines of a couple of those phases myself. These are assumptions. I don't assume anything any more. I also never make wagers. It has nothing to do with my confidence level. It's a personal policy.

Anyone want to claim they know exactly what kind of console the PS5 will be, it's features, it's specs, it's price, it's controller, it's online service? Feel free to make your claims, and well, stake your credibility along with it.

Why do you think you need to be absolutely 100% certain about something? If it changes it changes, if it doesn't it doesn't. Who gives a damn? If you disagree that the price of X console will be what someone proposes then their comparison doesn't apply for you. With people who agree that it will be that price then the comparison is valid for them. Crikey!

Literally all you have to say is "I don't think it will cost this much." Rather than what you actually did.
