Its reasons like this that so many insiders stop giving data over the years, assholes on forums attack them anytime they give out tidbits that are only 99% accurate or dont line up with their personal preferences.

Benji, MatNPD & Magic Pork are currently our only look into US sales data and all three of them have expressed hesitance to share anything on forums because people are constantly hostile towards them when things dont go their way.

Truth be told is that they bring it on themselves.

If I were in a position to see and share numbers, I will just pop up in the thread on the da and cryptically or not drop the numbers N one can argue or dispute facts. After that I am done with the numbers. The End.

The issue with most of the people that share numbers is that they also share their opinions. And the second you start doing that then you are opening yourself up to be challenged. 

Lets take the Benji guy for instance..... I don't know about him nor am I aware of his track record.... but from what I see he gives information on where the market is leaning.. to the best of his knowledge. Problem with that is that its nt an exact science and if he must do that then he should do well to make a disclaimer and point out what he's certain of and what he isn't. Problem solved.

What people failed to see here is, Sony needs to ship a free latest game like Spiderman with a huge price cut in order to win in a unit for this month while Switch takes the revenue.

December is looking very ugly for PS4 and probably will be in the last place behind XBX1

Hmmmmm..... stealthy. I see you though.

He has done that multiple times, he has made it clear anything he says is based solely on the data he has access to and may not line up with what NPD says.
