No, it seems it will be slightly longer.

But you have to admit that the X1 closed the gap considerable, it closed it by more than half in a little more than a month.


Define slightly so we can have a bet.

PS4 grow the gap by 200k+ on September low sale period with Destiny bundle (more expensive than x1 with destiny). And MS closed 400k in November high sale period with all it could muster. 400k is 40% the lead not over half. And where were you when sony grew the gap? I remember, where saying ms closed the gap by having the ratio be smaller, quite crazy huh?

if by as you say X1 will close the gap 100k per week and at the end of november gap was 600k wouldn't that make it 6 weeks? 10 weeks is already more than slightly longer. but please be clearer, só we can move on. In your closed thread you said after deskinect x1 would pass ps4 soon. That was almost 6 months ago, but you still hold you were right. So please give a time schedule so we can stop being vague or don't make open prediction that you can pretend to be right.


What is the bet about?

 

I think by end of March 2015 give or take 20 days, X1 will have more sales in the US than the PS4


Never calling oneself good predictor or logical debater for the loser... or alternatively ban.

Permaban or permaname change to Toastboy, Jr.

 

You can change your name?

I've seen people name Toastboy but I never seen or noticed any of his posts, so who is that guy?

To change your name you have to ask a mod so he will permaban your old account for you to make a new one.

What is the point in that?

Also why did you say in your signature that you have a bet with me? I never said I accept the bet, I was just asking questions.

Ask Ludicrous Speed, he done that.... When you proposed end March +-20 days I though you were accepting the bet. Will you run from it?

My point is, why get banned, and lose all your posts? It's the same as making a new account yourself.

You asked me when I think it will happen, doesn't mean I accepted the bet in the first place, we didn't even agree on the conditions.

I am not running from anything, I didn't accept it in the first place.

You can't make a new account without asking permission. That is considered alternate account and can get your secondary acc permabanned and your main acc baned.

You toss too much predictions and then call yourself right on then. So I proposed a bet and asked how long for your prediction to fulfill... I took your answer as acceptance... gave two options for betting terms, either never call oneself a good predictor/reasonable analyst/logical thinker or permaban. You can choose... the winning condition for your is X1 pass PS4 between March 11th and April 20th and stay ahead, I win otherwise... Altough if you were expecting X1 to outsell PS4 weekly by 100k (effective basically November 1st - and in november in average was 100k each of the 4 weeks) then X1 would close the 1M gap by January 10th... So if you were right about that then you will lose the bet by pushing to far... for your prediction to come right (let's assume 500k Gap starting 2nd week of December, by your post on 100k weekly) X1 would have to outsell PS4 by an average of 39k weekly for March 11th or 25k for April 20th.... quite far from your 100k but who knows, could happen.

Ready to take the bet or shut about how right you are on your "will overtake soon" threads?

THat doesn't mean that you have to edit your signature to:

1) Claim I have already  accepted the bet

2) Claim your own condition, it seems in case you lose, you have decided yourself the nick change, how is that fair?

 

I will accept the bet if the conditions are reasonable and precisely defined.

Up until now I don't see any of that, you already invented the conditions yourself, and claim I have already accepted it.

If you're so confident in your own predictions, then you don't really need to worry about the reasonability of the conditions, right? It's a win-win situation for you, mate
