- CmonDev 13y agoThis is a valid argument. I think he was talking about XP to Win7 bypassing Vista which is incorrect. The situation is very similar now Win7 to Win9 skipping Win8.
- GhotiFish 13y agoThis is perhaps the most apt criticism of this article.
- psbp 13y agoIt's the Star Trek movie curse in reverse.
- GhotiFish 13y agoI'd wager this perception is partially self fulfilling. Frankly, So is the Star Trek movie curse.
- dkuntz2 13y agoCome now. The Star Trek movie curse is somewhat true, at least for movies two through eight. Each odd numbered movie (in the set) has a worse all time domestic ranking than the following even numbered movie (in the set). There is at lease some true. It kinda breaks with nine, because it did so much better than ten, and all of them did a lot worse than eleven and twelve (but we don't count those, they're different...)
- GhotiFish 13y agoso except all those exceptions, there's definitely a pattern! By the time 5 came, most people were already speculating, and you ought to know as well as I do about how nasty an effect framing can have on nebulous judgements of "good" and "bad". I'm surprised I got a downvote for the parent post, frankly.
