What makes you think im not relaxed?

Im not saying you arent allowed to change your prediction. That never once came out of my mouth.

Im saying changing your prediction by a large amount means you dont stand by it.

This is what you said, "I still stand by that prediction though, albeit now I have revised it by around 15 to 20M. So now it stands at 50M to 60M lifetime"

 

Again, i dont care that you changed your prediction. Im telling you what you said was a contradiction.

Nintendo raising their forcast is 10000% irrelevent to what we are talking about.

Sigh.... ok.

I have tried to explain why... I have given you reasons and scenarios. At the end of the day, what I did I revise my original prediction. Now I have a new one. So maybe I should have said I stand by my reasoning and not my prediction if that somehow would have avoided all this being that I changed my prediction. 

So let me rephrase.... I stand by my reasoning but underestimated the value proposition that was $299 when making my earlier prediction. Now I have raised my prediction and I am making it clear that if nintendo gets that price down sooner rather than later and can get a good deal more third party support then that number is only bound to go up.

Better?

And nintendo revising their estimates.... actually thats even underselling it as in their case they would have had to change a lot to increase production ha everything to do with this. Cause as i said, if nintendo can make adjustments, why can't we? Especially when you consider that most of these predictions were made at a time when nintendo announced only 8M total shipments for the fiscal year..... extrapolate that and arriving at 40M doesn't seem that far fetched.

Thats better, like i said before you cant stand by something while changing it.

Thats like saying, "i stand by his word.......except when hes lying"

Does that make sense to you?

 

I have no problem with you changing your prediction when things change, it would be ignorant not to. The only issue i had was the "stand by" quote.

 

As for Nintendo, they never forcasted 8m, it was originally 10m and stated they believe it could be higher.
