I'm a bit surprised by the unruly conduct of some users in this thread, not to mention the unabashed trolling. JL is known for his prediction, so to see even mods shitting bricks over it is unsettling to say the least. And the justifications? I don't rememebr any "bash sony fans free!" days after the ridiculous predictions that Ratchet would sell 2 million WW by January.

WiiFit has been bashed from day one - that's why I'm trying to figure out if this sudden bitch and whinefest from several users is either longtime fanboy assholes waiting to cry out in joy at John Lucas getting "put in his place" or just a negative reaction that WiiFit didn't fail miserably which has just reduced them to screaming and scratching at its largest supporter in the sales argument. This is a sales site, not a vendetta site, and there's no excuse to be tearing into people regardless of how outlandish their predictions may be.

You people need to get a grip.

You're not seriously comparing a 2 million R&C by january prediction to half a billion lifetime sales of the Wii, are you? If so, that is n extremely strange and unreasonable measure to take. I think this is Mr.Stickball's point; he personally spends a lot of time and effort into making his predictions both likely and logical, while many others just follow blindly what has to be the most sensationalist claims ever brought to an online forum at any time, ever!

Clearly, there's a difference both between the Halo 3 prediction and the R&C prediction and the preposterous claims that would need God himself at the helm to succeed. I don't abolish Nintendo in any way, but it's strange that its most avid defenders and fans are turning into zealots with too little zest of their own to stand up for their brand, rather hiding behind what most see as a crazy mans rants.

This is not about mods being jealous, it's about certain users having too weak a personality and too poor debating skills, lending off of John Lucas' thunder. And it's easy to see if you have an open mind.

Yes, I am comparing them because both were outlandish claims and neither one has come true. Yet JL is getting piled on by rabid animals yet that stupid R&C prediction goes by without anyone blinking and even seems to be getting excused because "it wasn't as outlandish as his!!" I'm sorry but no.

And who cares if stickball isn't put on a pedestal for his predictions? Is that what people are here for? Popularity? This is exactly why IGN sucked, it was nothing but people whining about attention, and whining because they weren't getting enough attention, or whining because someone was getting too much attention. JL didn't ask for his "fans," they simply declared themselves as that and follow his posts. Taking it out on him because he has a fanbase is dumb. If you're going to go berserk over his predictions getting attention then why is nothing being dumb by trolling clowns like hunter_alien hiding in the corners while occsionally screaming about how he needs to be "put in his place?" Judging by this thread, he has just as many secret haters as fanboys, and most of them seem to be on the lower end of the spectrum, attacking him just because his predictios are about Nintendo.

If anything I've gained more respect for JL from this thread, you people have gone batshit insane and he's living it down, taking it in stride as more and more of you freaks pile on him in an attempt to accomplish...whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.
