I think some would be more charitable if the piece itself was decent. But it isn't.

The research is slapdash, the figures are misleadding, and the author makes too many assumptions to justify their  conclusions.


So do many of the haters. That´s the problem. People want so badly to defend their point-of-view that they don´t care about taking misleading information to counter argumentation. Is it that hard just to indicate the points of concern about what the person wrote, instead of trying to be smart with the same mistakes ?

that´s why I say it´s a shame. Sometimes neither side is correct, the fanatical fanboyism makes people blind when discussing games, sometimes..

The funny thing is, if the global economy is in the current state that it is right now or if it continues to decline, I wonder what the excuses will be from the Sony/M$ fan boys when their consoles seller lower numbers than the Wii U?


While it´s certain that the global economy may have a role on the decline of the industry, it seems that the decline of interest from the casual players is what is really, or at least, for the most part, making for the decreasing console sales. Casuals seems to be flocking to smartphones and tablets, with their cheap, easy-to-play and social networking games.  The ones who wants to try more deep experiences are going for PC gaming, which is a natural jump for a casual player who is used to play on gadgets

I really think that the future for this industry is not so bright. Consoles may well become again a niche market, or just cease to exist in less than two decades . some people even think that this will be the last generation of consoles, as the way we know them.

The problem is EVERYTHING in this piece relies upon assumptions and misinformation. If you don't take them as read, there is no argument to respond to. And frankly, I don't see an excessive amount of "fanatical fanboyism." Most people were content to comment about the formatting or actual, factual errors in the argument.

 

In this case, the OP is wrong. Not necessarily in their conclusions, but in the premises they use to prove their point. There is no need to discuss anything else.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Tbh the problem is more due to a number of factors, both PS4 and X3 will run into the same issue, economy at the moment is in the pits for most regions and Nintendo really need to get their first party going. It's not a spectacular start but it's not the worst but look horrible because of the predecessor crushing early on, all the worry should be put on hold until we're about hitting well into next year and if the performance is the same then it's time to worry for Nintendo but at the moment I think things are too premature.
