That you missed the point shows that you have a problem. Over the years I have seen plenty of people who stopped being fanboys of one brand and considered themselves enlightened, but all too often their previous fanboyism merely transfered from one brand to another one. In your case that would be a shift from PS to PC. As a practical example, think of yourself from three years ago. Back then you had already completed your shift from PS to PC, but that didn't make your outlook for Nintendo Switch rational in any way. Pony or not, your posts were hot garbage. Even in the face of Switch's success, you still continued to cling on to an irrational outcome that could eventually see Nintendo games on the PC. And now here you are, berating people about what is rational and what isn't while your own behavior is indistinguishable from an Xbox foeboy. Let's hope you are just messing around, but you've actually been consistent throughout Xbox-related threads lately. |
My outlook for the Switch weren't predictions, they were feeble hopes and I stated so multiple times. And yes, I still hope it'll never reach 100m, despite it looking less and less likely.
My current belief that Xbox won't do much is based on data from the past 3 generations of Xbox, i.e. the only data there is. It would be stupid to think that we'd see a sudden shift when that has never happened before and when the Playstation brand is as strong as ever. If it turns out differently, cool, but that's not what experience has taught us.
I get that it's tough to get a full grasp of my actual leanings when I regularly shit on every platform, including PC, mobile, Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo. People rarely get to see all of them at once because they only walk among their own echo chambers. I also give props where it is due. For example I have a lot more respect for Xbox's business model than any other console, well, minus the paid online. I hate Sony a lot more than Xbox. The fact that I would never buy an Xbox is more of a testament to the things I like about them than anything else. They're the only console that doesn't force me to buy it.
People who react to me as if I was a fanboy or foeboy only reveal their own biases.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
