Console Wars are mostly dead...

Revisionist history is an interesting study, but I choose to live in reality. The market was shrinking, simple as that. It's much easier to have a success when all of your effort goes into it, instead of being divided. Sony and Nintendo both knew this and followed down this path.

And the Core/Arcade could use a HDD, it just didn't come with one. You could also use an external HDD on it. I would also love to see your extensive research and data on which model sold what and what consumers were thinking when they bought the 360 over the PS3.

Lol, yes, you used your bias and what you hoped to be true to pick at other predictions, like many do. You're very fortunate the Switch was a hit. Of course, that doesn't change that there were logical reasons it could have failed. For you to not be able to admit that just shows blind bias.

You, of all people, have no credibility to call others out on their bias, as your prediction statements show. As for not being first, don't get too cocky. It may come back to bite you in the ass.

Most people who use your flawed argument for why Switch is a hybrid try to argue that Nintendo did it because of their home console sales, not their handheld console sales. But eh... I don't think there will be any progress on this point of discussion.

Yes, the Arcade could use an HDD, but only a Microsoft-branded one that costed $100. That's why the $399 SKU sold so much better; it was $100 more and came with an HDD along with several other extras such as a wireless controller instead of a wired one. The Arcade SKU was totally gimped.

Switch being a success has nothing to do with luck. Feel free to list the logical reasons for why Switch could have failed. Chances are that those reasons were addressed by my thread.

Flawed to only those blinded by bias. You can choose to ignore that the HH market shrank incredibly going from DS/PSP to 3DS/Vita, but it doesn't change it from being a fact. Numbers don't lie.

Still going to need that research and data from you. 

Lol, don't get so offended. Didn't say it was all down to luck. In fact, I posted why it succeeded. And pointing to that thread is pointless. You can say why you disagree with how things will turn out, but to actually say that their arguments lacked any logic reeks of bias.
