The following appeared in an editorial in a business magazine.
"Although the sales of Whirlwind video games have declined(1) 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(2). According to the survey, players prefer games that provide lifelike graphics, which require the most up-to-date computers(4). Whirlwind has just introduced several such games with an extensive advertising campaign directed at people 10 to 25 years old(5), the age-group most likely to play video games. It follows, then, that the sales of Whirlwind video games are likely to increase(6) dramatically in the next few months(3)."
提纲：

(3)The author fails to consider other features that may also influence the overall quality of a game.
(4)The author fails to analyze how many players have access to such most up-to-date computers.
(5)No evidence could indicate that players 10-25 years old will also prefer such kind of games.
(6)Sales of video games would be determined by many factors, thus the mere fact cited by the author could not ensure increase in our sales.
