No no no please I have no issue with you or your opinion. Seriously. I think you are an intelligent person and I'm not even saying you are wrong. I am simply giving my opininion from my persepctive of why I think it is contrary. I'm not saying I'm right, simply saying that's what I see. Also trying to be light hearted and fun about it, and maybe give you and others a decent laugh which I hope I have, because I got a laugh out of the situation seeing as it's ah silly. 

To get things back on track I agree with the main point that short burst is not enough no matter when it happens. There is definitly a momentum to it that is a large factor on the impact of the eventual bang.

ok cool - i'll PM you later then

That does make a lot of sense. This is why I think X1 won't have very impressive sales, like the 360, during the holidays.
