It's way to optimistic. Jason tends to be too optimistic with most of his Xbox predictions. I think he wants to be that guy who gets it right once after lots of attempts, self proclaim prediction God, create JasonChartz and try to put ioi out of business. 

Would be just like the panda that made several impossible predictions and got one right and called himself the best prediktor on vgc

Exactly, but most of the time we can't be bothered to wade through hundreds of comments and call them out on their bad predictions but they'll be happy to repeat the one time they'll get it right for what will fell like an eternity.

Sometimes there's just no logic to what they predict. The latest jason prediction let's take a look.

What will XB1 number be by the end of 2016? 11M ROW 16M USA maybe?

So according to jason, QB will have over 10% attach rate in ROW, 6% in USA. Alan wake had similar attach rates in ROW to US and that's before we consider the real high attach rate for the US let alone the 10%+ attach rate the given to ROW. Even if MS did bundle this aggressively, 2.25M is a big ask. It's just one of those predictions that defy any logic but freak situations do happen (Splatoon) and this is what jason is hoping for.

Then when he more than likely does get it wrong, the argument about digital sales will go for months.

That will be really crazy if it happens.

You don't because you aren't decent.

Ahhh OK. Grandpa has spoken. 

Jason is a good guy, just makes crazy predictions. I never intend to make anybody feel awkward or be a dick to them (DonFerrari is the exception). 

You said dick? I want.
