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

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.'"

It isn't a matter of taking it with a grain of salt. It's information that has no relevance to the discussion whatsoever. Unless we're talking about fucking morons who don't understand statistics, it should not have been mentioned. Pure and simple. Your preface merely underlines the fact that you knew this. There's no grain of salt nonsense here; you should not have mentioned it. Just take it back already.

My complaints are facetious. Yours showed that you had no argument. While I insulted you in the context of destroying your argument, the best you could muster was to call me a troll. I have thoroughly destroyed you. Now go do the right thing and kill yourself.
