If your memory can't buffer the sales of the 3 systems while looking for several people then you have an issue.

Feeling compelled to fling out unnecessary personal attacks out of the blue over this indicates having no issues I guess?
Though unless you have a PHD in neuroscience, you'll have to forgive me for not taking your expertise to heart.

Either way, even if you somehow remember the sales numbers for each console down to the last digit and that never gets blurry for a moment while looking at dozens of similar numbers mashed together in a bracket, you still have to look at both the percentage and the person's predictions to figure out if they were over or under. And in case you for a moment don't remember if PS4 sold 654 units or 652, and how it stacks up to someone's prediction of 653 (Crazy, I know. Would never happen. Unless you have issues.) you may have to look at all three fields depending on where you start.

With a + or - in front of the percentage, it would be enough to only look at the percentage portion to get an idea of how much they over or underestimated sales.
I'd rather start at that end, and then look at their prediction if something catches my eye. I wouldn't even need to look at or memorize the actual sales numbers then.

Seems like you took a joke quite hard.

You don't need to remember all the digits to know if it is a + or - ... since most are over 10% wrong you putting PS4/X1/Switch to some nearing like 25 to 25 interval rounding (like consider PS4 325k Switch 175k X1 125k) and looking at whatever the predictioner have put you will now if it's over or under.

If you want to only look at the percentage and call it a day just look at the sum of the percentages from the prediktor to see if he was to much off the mark.
