Lol, fair enough.

I think what he/she meant is that perhaps the Japanese have a fascination with films like this because of their country's history (although I'm sure there are more suitable films to obsess over if you're going for that kind of thing).

Or until the entitled nerds find another reason to start a lawsuit lol.

I like to use "retarded" to describe anything illogical to the point of mystifying you. Lol.

I meant more in spirit considering I honestly don't care enough to come back here to discuss the products success after five years (esp considering you probably wouldn't respond) but regardless, I'm glad to see that for our last discussion you once again skipped 90% of my post and didn't respond to any of the real key…

And that's your opinion. Your naive opinion. In 50 years when VR technology has evolved to an unrecognizable level because of the seed sown by products like this, the future clones and derivatives will have sold more than any sim cockpit could imagine.

I hate to tell you, but you aren't proving your point correct, but you're proving MINE correct, although one graph using one single term (rather than a broad term that people might be searching) certainly isn't "definitive". All this proves is that gaming certainly isn't as mainstream as you think it is. And to say…

Sorry, but your wrong. Let's see some facts for that. That's retarded baseless speculation. I know tons of people whom aren't hardcore games that play FPS games.

Are you really that thick? Even if you break it down to just modernized nations, more than half of the world plays video games of some kind, and it's still not mainstream. It doesn't really matter how many people play, it matters if it's accepted or not. Obviously i'm not speaking about 3rd world countries. I was just…

Oh god lol. I lack perspective? I'm basing it's status on the hype that's already begun surrounding it, ALL OVER. If only hardcore gamers knew about it, I wouldn't have my mother bringing it up in conversation (uninitiated by me) asking me if I've heard of it. That fact alone should be a sign. I mean damn, the hype…

Did you really completely miss my point? Work out the percentages for yourself. It's not mainstream because it's not 100% accepted in mainstream society.

Alright. I'll concede that I was mistaken on that part. That was my own mix-up. But that's the only thing I was mistaken about.

Yeah, same. I had to stop it. I dig nerdcore rap and stuff, but that was just... bad. I know they aren't really rappers, but they shouldn't have tried because of that fact. idk. oh well.

Here, disregard the last message. I made some edits/additions, however the editor messed up and wouldn't let me post or delete it. So here is the finalized response:

Man, you're the one who's trying to redirect the conversation. I have never been talking about this article. I've been trying to explain why you are wrong in saying that this technology won't catch on. You've been redirecting the topic more and more with each of your posts. So I apologize for sticking to the damn…

Uh, I keep mentioning applications outside of gaming because it has applications outside of gaming. It's as simple as that. Just because something is designed for one application doesn't mean it can't possibly be used for other things.

I obviously meant the OTHER figure (ie. 50 million), because if we're talking worldwide sales, I'd bet it'll ,at the very least, make that much (given the pricing is right). And sales figures aren't what makes a product "niche" or not. The design, the marketing, and the nature of the product do. "Gamers" isn't exactly…

Sales figures still don't make it a niche product. And your numbers are misleading, because are we talking worldwide? Just the USA? What?

Wrong because you apparently don't know what "niche" means, or you're just applying it in a generally incorrect way in an attempt to get your feeble point across.. So something that sells less than 50 million units is niche? And I don't know if you're just ignoring what I write, or if you're illiterate, but I've told…

And so far your estimation of the device as a niche market product has been pathetically wrong.
