So you call me dumb now, and tell me to stop 'derailing' your precious thread with my pointless comments? I think it's clear who the child is here. Maybe you should start your own site, with your own threads, where only people that post comments you like are allowed to post.

What a bizarre article. Obviously Forbes correctly predicted that the Gamecube would struggle... while somehow completely failing to grasp that the XBox would get smashed just as badly. There was never any "war" between Sony and Microsoft, the PS2 killed EVERYTHING else!

I mean, that should have been obvious to everyone by mid-2001, after the PS2 came roaring out of the gate in all three markets.

Look, I would say that Itsamii was wrong to basically tell you to GTHO.  You genuinely believe that your comments were relevant and based on a logical interpretation of the article.

The problem is this:  you're wrong. 

When you said "dude, the first sentence of the article says that" [it is predicting Nintendo to be last in marketshare instead of referring to other measures], you were wrong.  This is because, as noted, Forbes is not a gamers' magazine and so they would take a more business-oriented view encompassing not only hardware units sold but also software, revenue, and profit, with particular emphasis on profit.  Moreover, the tone of the article clearly implies the prediction that Nintendo may go the way of Sega within that generation:  "Few are taking bets, however, on whether Sony or Microsoft will win a one-on-one fight."  One-on-one, i.e. Nintendo will be out of the picture. 

When you said that This article was written before the aftermath you are talking about, so saying 'how can Nintendo be in last place if they sold more software than the xbox? etc' is unlogical as a comment to words spoken prior to the things you have knowledge about now. Even if they were talking about profit, your comment doesn't make sense... you were wrong. 
This is because you are making no sense.  Obviously this article does not have the benefit of hindsight; that doesn't mean they can't have made observations of business trends -- incorrect observations -- or predictions -- wrong predictions. 

Please take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember that your precious Sony is not being denigrated here.  Only Forbes. 

most of the analysist were completely wrong
