I would still be right because I said it would be under 20 million while almost everybody here says it will be at least 20 million. Not on my estimation auf 18 to 18.5 though of course. WTF are you thinking? I made several statements, the most prominent one that I think its not going to be 20 million, but less and you ignoring some of them like you feel? A couple of hundred thousands a month sometimes. I dont keep track of it that exactly. But thats nothing unusual for VGC, because they are GUESSING (same thing for me as estimating). That hasnt only happened to the PS4 in VGC history. Why the fuck do you think I am using such high tolerances??? I explained my low numbers in my first post. In any case that week estimate isnt even one of my main points, I just said that as a very rough measure. The less than 20 million and 18 to 18.5 million are. You know whats awesome? PS4 fanboys think I am wrong because I take too low numbers while Xbone fanboys think my numbers are too high (and think that VGC is crap anyway because its Sony biased). :) |
So you want to throw a lot of predictions and see what sticks and them say you were right? I meet users like that in here... your choice. But even if you say under 20M and 18-18.5M as two guesses you can either be correct in both, none or just one of them, so if you make several claims you will be held for each separatedely. And if PS4 sold 18.53 (you saying 18-18.5 and me saying 20M) you would be right of course... But when you have a humungous range of 400-700k and the number you say prove you right is already out of it on the upper side I don't think we can say you were right, we can at most say you weren't wrong.
PS4 was almost 1M undertracked in like 3month spam, and have been undertracked almost all weeks... so 713k already being out of your range and possibly undertracked would make it even more probable it was outside of it.
You don't need cursing, nor a novel, just to be precise. And if your point wasn't 400-700k why put it out? And when showed why it was wrong and still hold to it I have reasons to believe you want it to happen.
What is awesome is you saying you are a long time lurker, but don't know the rules on the forum. Even better is expecting a range lower than maybe any of the weeks PS4 will achieve perhaps week of January 3rd.
