"Are you not aware of when GC/XB released? They launched in holiday 2001 so 2002 was their first year."

This is a good argument.  In fact, I like it so much that I basically made the same argument for Generation 7.  "It's normal for a console to increase in sales in it's second year after release."  You are arguing against me in Generation 7, but you are using my same type of reasoning for Generation 6.  Well, I like what you are saying about Generation 6.  I wish you would listen to your own argument and apply it to Generation 7.

Umm no, 2001 included 1.5 months for GC/XB so 2002 was their first full year.

2008 was the 3rd full for 360 and the 2nd full year for PS3/Wii.

These are not comparable situations in the slightest.

Your only argument is Wii peaked early while PS3/360 peaked late.

The bolded is a strawman argument.  You simplified my argument and then told me what it is.  That is a strawman.

I would also like to point out that you have not yet made an argument to prove your point (or Mat Piscatella's point, if they are the same).  All you have done is argue against my point, poorly.  Your previous rebuttal was inconsistent and now you are using a straw man.
