because the people who said less than 500k are complete Xbox and MS haters.  Just goes to show you how many exists on this site.  It is pathetic. 

so are the people who thought MCC selling under 1M retail 1st week haters too? Because there was a prediction thread for that and it was said that anybody who thought it would do under 1 million were talking crazy. Only thing is that crazy prediction turned out to be true as it's likely sold less than 1M WW retail after 3 weeks!

A better example is an old TLOUR vs Titanfall thread. Are all the people who thought Titanfall would stomp all over TLOU Sony haters? Because TLOUR is going to win that battle. 

A final example I can apply to me. I would hve guessed the PS4 would sell 16M by the end of this year. It now looks like selling 20-21M. Dpes that make me a Sony hater? Because I'm pretty sure I "LOOOOOOOOVE" Sony. 

Those comparisons are at least reasonbale.  This is laughable.  There is not a chance people really thought it would sell under 500k.  They voted that because they keep doing what they do best, trolling Xbox One.

MCC should've been a million seller in one week but thanks to the online issues it really hurt sales potential not to mention that digital sales of the game weren't counted.

Oh didn't some users say that the Xbox one won't even reach 8.5 million by the end of 2014? Looks like the Xbox one already pass that :)

That makes no sense. The major online problems got attention after it released. It was clear the demand for the game after it launched was nowhere near what people thought. 

Yes they did and you know what it doesn't make people xbox haters for predicting that. SOme people who really like Xbox would have predicted something similar. Nobody expected an Xbox firesales in November and that certainly helped it to increase sales.  If they never removed Kinect along with the massive bundle deals they prob would have sold under that.

At least reasonable? It was stated in the thread that any prediction under 1 million is crazy talk. That doesn't sound reasonable to me. 

Maybe they did and maybe they didn't but I'm pretty sure everybody didn't. And if you don't want people voting something that is considered a trollable answer, don't include an option that low in the poll for starters. 

Another prediction is my TLOU thread. SOme people thought that wouldn't sell 2M by the end of 2015. It hit that mark 13 months earlier than that prediction. I don't consider those peoples trolls. But by your logic I would.

You make it sound like people bought the MCC on the day of release and not for the rest of the week. You do know people buy games a day or 2 or 3 or 4 after release because they choose to not preorder the game right? While they wait they hear all the problems from a friend who just bought it. They then decide not to go purchase it because of what is happening from that friend.

You do know that things can happen like price cut, bundles, or promotions right? Do you really think the Xbox one would remain $499 for the rest of the year even on BF or during the holidays? You(and everybody else) didn't take that in consideration,did you? Didn't the PS3 got a $100 price cut months after launch?

Regarding the poll you do know that even if the option for 500k or less isn't there they will vote for the second option and even if those options aren't there they will vote for the third option and so on? I am really sure that even if those 3 options weren't there people would STILL complain that the rest of those options are too high and unrealistic.

Do you now understand?

I didn't make a prediction so I didn't take anything into consideration for that matter .But I'm telling you npw that if my prediction was based on current Xbox sales patterns 8 months ago I'd be predicting some low numbers. Obviously you expect deals in November but I would predict deals like the PS4 bundle for 399. SO basically it's the same as before just with a bundle game. 

Not in my wildest deams would i think the base price for the X1 would drop by 170$ and in some places plus an extra game and a 50$ card. In some places people were getting an wxtra 150$ for trading in their PS3/360 as well. That is firesale stuff and it shows just how bad sales were. And they were terrible because in a lot of months including the Titanfall, Destiny months Xbox had some big deals. 

And yes the vast majority of week one buyers for a game will get it based on reviews. The online problems were not getting major headlines on day 1. It tooks a number of days for that to happen. The game got an excellent metcritic and the first week sales represent the demand for the game. The predictions less than 1M for NPvember NPD were touted as crazy talk with 1.8M being seen as reasonable. The fact is 1/3 of that sold in Nov NPD. By the logic displayed in hear those people would be described as MS haters too. 

Do you now understand? you prob don't because bias is clouding your judgement.
