Why is it that anytime Kowen is proven wrong he vanishes from the thread without accepting his limitations instead of blaming the data?

Interesting, huh?  Of course, here he just assumes the PS4 and XBO were close in Dec as fact, with no real data.  Then, when VGC adjusts XBO down with the PS4, since it's pretty obvious they are both overtracked, as ioi must be using similar formulas to estimate sales WW, he criticizes the site for just assuming the XBO is overtracked, too.  Sure, PS4 was over tracked by 600K-700K, but XBO is spot on.    Even though we just got confirmation that the PS4 has handily beat the XBO in the UK in Dec, at least enough so to completely wipe out the gain XBO got in Nov.

Anyway, I think this proves the fight for the UK is over.  Sony isn't just handing over UK to MS, and it seems when the consoles are both priced the same, they won't have to.  Same thing is happening in the US, now, since the XBO's price went up.  And this year, Sony will be ready and willing to answer a permenant price cut from MS, so I don't think they will be giving up the US, either.

Beside that I'm pretty certain he was in the weekly thread several times calling out people who said the numbers where under/overtracked, and complaining about people attacking the site without reason... and he was overjoyed that I said PS4 would be 1M on the year end, and other people said it was impossible, then came real numbers with ps4 being slightly above 1M on Jan 4th... when I said that proved it wasn't impossible to achieve it he were so happy screaming "4th January" that he didn't see I wasn't saying it was certain it passed (even if statistical error could mean it achieved, or was even farther)... of course he never answered when he saw how wrong he was.
