“I don’t think there’s any argument that this is a worse console, at least for thermals and for cooling,” says Evans.

Worst quote they coulda pulled. Literally sends the opposite message than the one its meant to convey.

Unless im even worse at english than i thought.

Don’t think of “argument” meaning a statement in support of something. Think of it as a synonym for “debate”.

“There’s no debate” as in “it’s so obvious, there’s no one on the other side debating that it is not true”

It was intentionally negative — Evans is the guy discovering the smaller heatsink; not Sony PR.

The full quote is “I don’t think there’s any argument that this is a worse console, at least for thermals and for cooling,” says Evans. “As far as I’m concerned I’d rather have a launch PS5.”

The guys from gamersnexus say measuring exhaust temperature is not enough to call this worse. So Austin Evans is probably reaching.

Edit: wrote his name wrong.

Ambiguous and indirect double-negative

It is ambiguous, but it means that this is obviously true and there's no argument about it.

It's arguably an ambiguous statement.
