"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.

"these comparisons are ridiculous because we literally don't know anything about the pricing of PS5 or Xbox Scarlett. How about we wait until we have more information".

"Sure they are, look we can totally make these educated guesses! We know things about these consoles that haven't been stated!"

"Look at all of these educated guesses other people would have made that turned out to be totally wrong. Isn't it better to wait until we know more?"

"who cares if all turns out to be wrong, it can be true to some people now!"

If that's how you want to do it, man.

Also, where did I make a positive or negative claim about anything around the price of the PS5 or its features?
