Yeah that’s one of the dumber arguments I’ve seen on this site. By that logic, let’s also say DS & PS2 wouldn’t have sold as much without DS Lite & PS2 Slim.

Confirmation bias makes for particularly dumb arguments. And I'm not even looking down on anyone. At one point or another, we're all guilty of making a dumb argument - and for the majority of us, it's far from just one. But where a person making dumb arguments avoids the status of stupidity is when they recognize their error, and don't let confirmation bias keep them captured.

In other words: don't worry about being dumb, don't worry about being pointed out as being dumb. By all means, risk being dumb.
Instead, worry about being stupid, and avoid it when you can by changing course when you find out you've said something dumb.

I came here to discuss video game console sales, not to read excellent life advice. Get out of here with your wisdom.
