TOPIC: ARGUMENT147 - The following appeared in an editorial in a business magazine.

"Although the sales of Whirlwind video games have declined over the past two years, a recent survey of video-game players suggests that this sales trend is about to be reversed. The survey asked video-game players what features they thought were most important in a video game. According to the survey, players prefer games that provide lifelike graphics, which require the most up-to-date computers. Whirlwind has just introduced several such games with an extensive advertising campaign directed at people 10 to 25 years old, the age-group most likely to play video games. It follows, then, that the sales of Whirlwind video games are likely to increase dramatically in the next few months."

(1) The survey that author has cited contains neither the number  of the respondents nor the detailed infomation about their age and the place of their residence.
(2) The respondents' subjective intersts on the computer games which related to lifelike graphics and the most up-to-date computers does not mean that they tend to buy such computer games in reality. Perhaps such games are expensive, or may be the majority of them have not such up-to-date cpmputers which may be too expensive these yonug men.
(3) Even we presume that the several new games introduce by Whirlwind provide lifelike graphics which require the most up-to-date computers, however, the author neglects other improtant respects of Whirlwind's games such as exictability and sense of control, which may greatly determine the quality of a computer game.
(4)  No persuasive evidences are provided to show that the sales of Whirlwind are likely to increase dramatically, perhaps other computer games companies have also introduced new games which are more attractive and sells at a cheaper price.

作者的观点： the sales of Whirlwind video games are likely to increase dramatically in the next few months."

观点：1.a recent survey of video-game players suggests that this sales trend is about to be reversed，which means increasing。
2.Whirlwind has just introduced several such games with an extensive advertising campaign directed at people 10 to 25 years old, the age-group most likely to play video games.


反驳：1.首先调查的合理性。this survey 有多少人参加调查了，年龄，性别，个人爱好都是怎么样的，都没有进行陈述，所以，在合理性上有问题。

2.调查说受访者喜欢那些lifelike graphics，而这些游戏对电脑要求很高。不是所有人都会负担的了高配置的电脑的，受访者说喜欢，但不一定会去购买这类产品，因为自己的经济状况不允许。而表达这种观点的人数是多少，没有说明，所占比例也不知道，如果是少数则没有指导意义。

3.作者介绍 Whirlwind has just introduced several such games with an extensive advertising campaign directed at people 10 to 25 years old。这些孩子是最可能玩游戏的群体。推行了大规模的宣传工作，结果怎样不得而知。而且这个年龄段的人有多大的比例去购买游戏也不得而知，而说他们是最可能玩游戏的群体也不一定。因为这个年龄段学习压力大，还有工作压力，很多压力，不一定是最可能购买游戏的。而且经济没有独立，家长不一定会同意。

(1) The video-game players in the survey do not represent all the players in the area that WW covers. Thus the survey may be invalid.
(2) The interview based survey may not reflect the true situation what the players really like.
(3) It could be useless for WW to introduce such games that provide lifelike graphics. Maybe other companies already have lots of such games and lead the market.
(4) The extensive advertising campaign targeting at teenagers or young people may be not sufficient for the company to increase the revenue.
(5) Since WW 's sales decline over the past two years, so it may be not easy for them to increase revenue in the next few months. Perhaps the whole economy is in depression.
