Argument147
共用时间：52分17秒
------题目------
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.'

The argument claims that the survey indicates video-players prefer to play video games which provide lifelike graphics. According to the survey, the company introduced such kind of games so the arguer come to a conclusion that the sales of Whirlwind video games are likely to increase in the next few months.

At first, there're many reasons leading to sales' decline, not only because of the graphics. Maybe the content of games produced by Whirlwind is not attractive to video-players. A boring game no matter how beautiful the pictures are is still a failure. It's also possible that the company didn't find a good season to sale video games. For example, an interesting movie will be more popular in the summer vacation than in regular days. And another alternative is the price of the game is too expensive.

Second, the video-players who were asked to finish the survey can not be representative of all the player. Perhaps they are a certain group which prefer the lifelike graphics while many other players do not. Especially Whirlwind planned to focus on people 10 to 25 years old. It's imaginable that people between 10 and 25 don't pay much attention to graphics.

Third, the arguer failed to give a potent explanation that why the age-group of 10 to 25 most likely to play video games. It's true that many young people like playing games. But maybe there're also many adults like video games. How can Whirlwind just pay attention to youth?

In sum, the company should reconsider all possible situations without rushing to a conclusion.
