Obviously most of the people who made predictions in 2012 about the state of the 8th gen have generally been wrong - by a large margin in most cases. However, that is no reason to dump on them and make fun of their predictions. They tried to make guesses when they didnt have the info about specs and prices - no need to laugh at them now that they are wrong.
What exactly was the point of raising this old thread? |
So it's their own fault then. If they had waited a little longer they could have made better more informed predictions.

Hello??? Isnt making predictions what we do here? Has not having enough info about games or consoles ever stopped us from making predictions as to how long the gen will last, how consoles/games will do? What - do you expect us to wait until we have all the information (which will likely be right before a release) before we start making predictions? Dont be ridiculous. What you are guys are doing here is discouraging people from making predictions, especially if there is a risk they may not be be right. Its just dumb and pointless.

oh come on now. Its not so much the prediction but the WAY he did the prediction. Lets be real, it comes from nothing more than a love for Ninty and the WANT to see it beat the competition which is fine, but usually that isnt backed up by actual facts or thought. There was an arrogance to it, and when you have that you open yourself up for ridicule and im all for that because it keeps the more silly predictions based on nothing but overzealous fans in check. What IS pointless is you defending a guy who isnt even around anymore, pretty sure he saw how it was going, turned tail and bounced.

Honestly I dont really care how he predicted or how factual he was. It just seems a lot of you guys are making fun of him for no reason other than he predicted badly. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth is all.

oh no he is being made "fun" of cause of the arrogance of it all. But hey if thats the way you feel, thats the way you feel.
