sure if you combine everything it looks better, but out i counted like like 48 votes out of 60 i think. that had switch over  by around 800k-1.5 million, to me that is destroying and would basically almost have to win every npd to achieve this.

It looks like a convenient threshold to define a lead as low as 800k as 'destroying', because that's still only 15%. 15% happens to be same as the PS4's lead in the month of March. It's doubtful that many people would say that the PS4 destroyed Switch and Xbox One this month.

More importantly though, you are falling into your habit of goalpost moving and backpedaling when you are wrong about something. That doesn't help your case at all. It's also only 40 of 86 predictions that have Switch ahead of the PS4 by at least 800k units. Furthermore, a gap of 800k units can be achieved in a single month, so in theory two consoles can split NPD wins for the first ten months of the year and one console can still come out with a lead if the console manufacturer in question goes to town with games, bundles and offers in the holiday season; therefore your conclusion that the ResetEra predictions must expect Switch to win nearly every month doesn't make much sense either.

The relevant question at this point is how deep you want to dig your hole.

I guess anything is possible no matter how unlikely it is, but switch will get destroyed in november again this year.
