Time it was posted is irrelevant, it answers your question and debunks your assertion that no one other than Gilgamesh said it would sell 5 million. You can spin it as much as you want but it doesn't change the facts. Jay your better than this just admit you were wrong and move on.

To be fair, I never made any assertions. I simply asked a question. True, it answers my question, but I can give my analysis, can't I? After all, you seem shocked out how people's prediction have changed so dramatically from being a "5 miller seller." I was just letting you know that predictions have been dropping gradually for the past dew weeks. Not sure what I'm "spinning" either.

You said this...

"Please list two people that said this game would be a "5 million seller." I'll give you one: Gilgamesh. Now, please give me just one more person who said this would be a "5 million seller."

 

You challenged him, he delivered and then some!

Don't try and pretend that was just a simple question that you weren't sure you knew the answer to as it just makes you look silly.

I have admitted that he answered my question. I've said so here: "True, you've answered my question." Even though I didn't state it explicitly, you could say I implied that he was wrong. That would be true, but there's an extreme difference in confidence between an explicit assertion and an implicit assertion. Had I been 100% confident, I wouldn't have held back, and would have stated explicitly that he was wrong. But I wasn't completely confident; there was a degree of uncertainty.

I can honestly say that I don't feel to bad about being wrong about implicit assertions. That's the beauty of it - deep down inside, I can always tell myself that I didn't "type" anything wrong, and that at least gives me some consolation. Had I stated an explicit assertion and been proven wrong, I would have been utterly and indisputably wrong; I would have probably left this thread forever, overwhelmed with shame.

Enough with that though. Yes, my implications and inner beliefs were false. But can we not move one? Can I not reply to his original point? I wanted to still reply to his surprise of the transition of predictions. Or If proven wrong about a single implication, am I now forced to keep my mouth shut on everything else? Is that the unwritted, unsaid punishment for incorrect implications? Am I too shamed to continue speaking? Do i have to make a thread issuing a public apology to VGCHARTZ? I think not. I've admitted I was wrong, shall we carry on?
