The word stupid can be used to describe a single act of an individual with no regards for there level of intellect ^^ Which is the context i am currently using it in. And fun can very often be described as stupid. liek i just said to someone elkse. many may find it "fun" to dive bomb of a cliff into the see doesn't make it any less stupid.

If someone just want to go swimming that would be indeed stupid. If someone takes an injury or death into account, doing this for the thrill, it wouldn't be stupid even if the sea'd be populated with great whites. ;)

And predicting a lifetime sale just guessing what might happen, isn't stupid at all. 

Doing something stupid just means your doing something with not intelligent reasoning behind it. Trying to guess the number of something that will be sold is impossible considering the number of variables it has. Which in my opinion makes it stupid. And iv said its my opinion its stupid so your argument is invalid against me ;)

Here, I bolded the important part here for you.  IT IS A GUESS!.  They aren't saying that these are the figures it is going to be, but what they think it might be.  The fact that there are so many variables means that the only thing they can do is guess.

There are TONS of prediction threads on this site.  People predict lifetime sales everyday here, from games to console hardware.  It is kind of the point of the forums on this site.  If you think that is stupid, then why the hell are you here.  Also, stop derailing a thread about predictions, if you don't like them, then don't freaking post, it is that simple.
