Starcraft can't pinpoint people and expectations because they didn't exist.

Simple as that. Until he can do that, no one should quote or reply to them, because, as always, he lives in a world of speculation and 'hype'. lol.

There you go.

Many up over a million.

Some at two million.

Very few guessed less than the sales.

 

I tallied all the predictions to prove that you don't know have an argument there

Less than 500K: 16 people
Between 500K and 1M: 45 people
Between 1M and 2M: 9 people
More than 2M: 2 people

You still mantain what you said?

OF course.  A great many of those in the rather broad 500k to 1M range were 750k and above.

But what is more significant to my argument is just who is making the predictions.  Naming names will get me banned, but you have been on the site a long time.  You know who I am talking about, and which console they all support.

And this, in the most RECENT sales prediction thread post-recession onset and with an imminent launch window that forces a large number of Sony fans to man up and realise they are about to swallow a lot of crow.  Back a few months ago (not to mention a few years), the predictions were even more outlandish.

And DMJ, after the debacle that was LBP for you, and your last minute downcasting of your sales predictions for that game, it's probably in your interest to steer clear of any and all debates of this class.

 

Edit:  This quote from that thread highlights the sort of thing I am talking about:

I notice a few of the biggest Sony fans who have told us for at least 2 years KillZone 2 WILL BE the biggest PS3 game ever have avoided this thread. Wonder why that is?
