He got banned for this but he is accurate in his description of how this cycle continues to work.

He is throwing around insults because fans hype games.

Nintendo fans hype games. Microsoft fans hype games. Do they get insulted in the same manner, let alone get lumped together as if all of them do these same things? Why does it make them desperate, foolish and unable to comprehend?

 

Take a step back and realize it isn't that big a deal.


It wouldn't let me access his profile?  How long of a ban is it?

And yes every fan hypes up titles.  But I also haven't seen as wild as predictions in a long time as I have for this game. 

Which predictions though? That of a very vocal but select few?

Rol links a thread where Gilgamesh gives a crazy prediction. If youactually  look through that thread you will see that majority don't even agree with him at all. Most here actually predicted between 1.5-3M sales overall (Average) from my memory. Some do say that they think the maximum it could "potentially" sell is around 5M, but if you also look, it wasn't just Sony fans who said that, which is why the attacking is way off base.


You will also see in that same thread that people claimed "Same thing will happen with this that happened to LBP. People expected HUGE sales and many expected even 10M." Even there I had to correct them to let them know that it wasn't Sony fans that thought that, but that it was DMeister who started the "LBP will be HUGE" thing and it was Gearbox (A user, not the studio) who was the one who predicted 10M. Doesn't matter though because once a crazy prediction is made, for some reason all Sony fans get lumped up into it unfairly.

 

it would be like everyone saying the Wii flopped because Nintendo fans predicted 200M+ sales for the Wii, meanwhile it was a select few, with JohnLucas I believe predicting WAY beyond that.

However,  rightfully so they did not get lumped together.

I do agree with you. But even 3m is pretty crazy.  Anyways you do make sense and I agree with you about a lot of stuff, but when people make these predictions it is asking for people (in this case Rol) to make a thread about it when it appears to not come close to predictions.  I believe at most ill probably do 1.5m and I think that is pretty realistic but this title was being hyped up by people a lot this year.  A lot of it was hate because it appears to be a clone of another similar brawler but a lot of it wasn't.  We would have the same kind of thread if Halo didn't achieve 3m+ on the first day and lostplanet was correct in what he said.  I know why he got banned but i dont know how long he is.  Im hoping it wasnt to severe because he was stating the truth and honestly there was much worst things said in this thread.
