EA Says 'Next-Gen' Is 'Now-Gen'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the didn't-know-they-were-the-official-scorekeepers dept.

Via GamesRadar, a Reuters report noting that the 'next generation' consoles are now more-or-less broken in. Sales for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii have transitioned to the point where software sales are going to be well worth the effort for development houses. "'[Black] Friday marked one of those points where you can say something's changed," [EA CEO Riccitiello] said. 'Around the world, based on the data I've got, it was pretty clear that the transition is now over. Key to that was Sony Corp's recent price cut for its PlayStation 3, which should ensure the struggling console hits the company's fiscal-year sales target of 11 million units.'"

    Nice try, Mr. Troll. It's not exactly like your slashdot moniker would make a reasonable discussion with your very person seem like a worthwhile endeavor now, would it? No soup for you, come back - next year!

    "Find a forum where no one gives anecdotes. post there. I doubt you will find a front page thread on slashdot, where for all post there does not exist an anecdote."
    Ah, so your argument for using anecdotal evidence is that everyone else is doing it? Well, isn't that righteous. I hate to have to be the parental figure you so desperately need but if all of your friends were jumping off of bridges, would you as well?

    Fuck you.

    "The purpose of an anecdote it to convey personal experience and opinion."
    Sometimes that is the purpose. Other times it is for assholes to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt without having real evidence. In this case, it sure as fuck isn't the former.

    "You can really make as much noise as you want but expletives and pejoratives does not make one right."
    Anecdotal evidence had no place in the discussion. There is nothing you can say about me as a person that will change that fact. You were in the wrong to mention it.
