It's set in stone and since I'm bored anyway let me explain:fernoca said:NPD threads are always funny..
I still remember when "the PSP was owning the NDS in hardware sales"..and when "the PS3 was beating the Xbox 360 in the US and that it was all over for the 360"..
If one thing this threads (and sales) have shown is that there's no trend..one month your hardware/software may be failing, the other may be a hit...
Yet, so many people waste time arguing, creating theories, debates...essays..about possibilities and trends..that, yeah..it's funny.. :lol
Nintendo was building the Titanic and thought, fuck it we'll build a train instead. They made that train and it's still rolling better than the Titanic ever will.
Microsoft build the Titanic, the building quality was dodgy and the tickets were quite expensive it got quite far. Just when they were about to hit an iceberg they dropped the price of the tickets, set back for their port and set sail for another year.
Sony build a Titanic, made the tickets too expensive and sunk their lifeboats while they're heading full steam ahead towards a huge iceberg with blinders on.
