So my point is, just because people say something should be done or not be done doesn't mean that is correct. So in this case with many people saying it will Fail, doesn't mean it will and can be good on console. Again someone using a non-game reference so I used a non game reference as well.
I was just sorta confused by your (counter)point. Your comment was "many people expected a great SW movie without GL.", and by most metrics, the episode 7 and 8 are huge successes and the majority of movie-goers enjoy the movies. So it sorta went exactly as expected?
A more apt way of using the new Star Wars movies as an example would be that the opinions of a vocal minority really doesn't matter that much for overall success.
