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."

      

      

It is arbitrary to judge the sales of whirlwind video games are likely to increase dramatically in the next few months according to the reasons the arguer illustrated.

First, the arguer did not analyze the reason why the sales of Whirlwind video games had declined. These reasons may be the quality of the games is poor or the content is tedious. If these reasons still exist, the sales could not increase.

Although the survey showes that players prefer games that provide lifelike graphics, the arguer did not provide any evidence to support that players tend to buy these games.

The arguer does not show any evidence to sustain 10 to 25 years old players are mainly those who like lifelike graphics.
