Well I'd like it to be accurate too but likewise people shouldn't be celebrating their console doing so well on the tracker for months like October or November when it's pretty obvious it does't reflect reality. If we didn't have this tracker we could have proper conversations in October, November and December about who's going to do what, but because we have it and it seems to favor the Switch it's hard to have that conversation because so many are convinced Switch will win October for example. 

Now the guy who works it is doing a good job and it seems for normal months of the year it can be a reliable means but in months like October (BO4 & RDR2) or November (BF) with have to look at the bigger picture. 

Tool was solid accurate before, and Switch making so huge difference compared to Switch looked like sure victory for month based on previous accuracy of tool, so you can't really blame people.

On other hand you start trashing tool on another forum saying "They are a waste of time lately trying to predict NPD and I'm not sure why they're taken seriously" and calling its "extremely biased towards Nintendo". But that really just tells more about you than anything else.

We're on vgchartz last time I checked. For all we know that poster on another forum is imitating me. So don't get your jimmies rustled over a post made on another forum. 

 

So you're staying switch October win looked certain? Jesus christ I'd have put my house on an easy ps4 win. Bo4 + rdr2 + spiderman effect it was never going to lose. Especially when the ps4 is already the most popular console this year.

 

You see this is the negative thing about the tool I was talking about. People get too attached to it after it had a good run Predicting easier months but then comes the first one where reality is screaming at a ps4 win but people can't see it because the tool says otherwise. This is why i didn't bother debating who would win and just sat back and waited for the results.
