Here's the thing about that...

You can just go back to the thread and bump it with "hey looks like you were wrong" and then talk about how wrong he was about it then.

This is a thread created to call someone out and try to degrade them.

people create predictions threads all the time. If a mod wants to come out and officially say that VGChartz supports individual threads calling users out then fine.

So...what's the difference between this supply shortage and the one for 360 right AFTER the holiday season? I remember alot of sony goons doubting it was real, but we are suppose to believe this shortage? Why is there a shortage again?

A. the shortage was supposidly for NA only for the 360. Ps3 is short in NA and Europe... I doubt it is in Japan but who knows.

B. the shortage was for one model for the 360 the Ps3 shortage is for both and Ps3 only has 2 models right now so it's not like it has 2 other models for it to fall back on like the 360 did.

C. the 360 shortage was caused because of..... no reason. The ps3 shortage is caused because of clearing out old stock to put in a new model to replace it.

i dont think anyone said it was different. Thats not the topic at hand. ioi said the numbers were effected by a shortage....since ioi's numbers are the topic of discussion we logically will agree that shortages have effected the sales.....it doesnt really matter in the context of the prediction because thats why a prediction is made without knowledge of future variables so it doesnt really matter anyways.

Oh noes, leo-j might be wrong (again) and is being called out like everybody else. Quick, somebody call whine one one! Wah!

Why are people pretending like this is a problem all of a sudden? There's a crow-eating thread and predictions get called out all the time. On top of this, it's leo-j we're talking about, one of the most notorious douchebags still on the site who is undoubtedly browsing now under one of 5 emergency alternate accounts. He's never made a correct prediction in his life. This shouldn't be "stp pickign on him!11," this should be business as usual. I'm starting to wonder if this is more about Sony fanboys feeling insecure and less about leo-j being called out for being wrong. Again.

This chart shows it perfectly.

See how the 360 never dipped below average sales.

You may say "BUT LOOK IT INCREASED IN FEB!"

But I say "OFCOURSE DMC4 INCREASED IT NOT AN EXTRA SHIPMENT TO HELP SUPPLY!"

Now look at Ps3 sales. Ps3 shot down this week. It is 13k less than its previous slowest week in NA. Way below avg.

When 360 supposidly got back in stock (chart show it was never lower than demand) it was suppose to heavily outsell the Pse week after week.

Now let's see where the Ps3 sales go from this week. If they stay at abou the same level that means demand was never an issue.

how does people complaining about setting a bad precedent for mods contributing and allowing threads calling members out, not inside of predeiction and dedicated threads but creating threads simply to bash/mock or draw attention to said user when there is a crow eating thread already in existance have ANY FUCKING thing to do with "sony fanboys".....

People just cant grasp some simple concepts I guess.

Claude: Watch it just because he isn't well liked doesn't give you the right to insult him or anyone else.

OK enough is enough. If you aren't on the topic of this thread, which is the prediction and its success/failure then you are in violation of forum rules.

Get back on topic or the hammer is coming out in force. Normally I might just lock the thread but that is exactly what the folks who have turned this into a shitstorm have wanted from the start. So in this case I'm happy to babysit the thread to make the point clear if I have to.

Starting now off-topic posts in this thread will result in a ban.
