#2Why do people spend time on useless graphs for something that could be explained clearly in 3-4 sentences?

#3And perhaps bigger news in the UK (not sure about other countries): amazon console sales are xbox 360's in the top few slots. No sign of the "one" or PS4.

#4This highlights one of the more disappointing aspects of the internet, where group-think leads to essentially mobs of people creating fake reviews on amazon.
I wonder what goes through the minds of people when they do that. I mean they're probably aware of the fact that they don't have the console. More than that, what do they have to gain from doing this?

#8Definitely there could be some "die-hard fanboys from both sides of the fence are attempting to create bad rep for the other", but there are other possibilities as well:
1) Some people bought from other channels are upset enough to want to vent their disappointment on Amazon (quite likely, as I did that to a book that I bought elsewhere to warn off others on its issues)
2) People with vested interests (paid or otherwise)

>"More than that, what do they have to gain from doing this?"
Gaming console wars are a great example of people who have confused their self-worth with their preferences/possessions. Combine that with viewing the world and this contest in particular as a zero-sum game and there you have it.
People creating fake reviews to feel better about "themselves".
