He has the right to not like what was said about him here, but he had no right to insult every member of this forum for something EVERY GAMING FORUM can be accused of. It was totally inapropiate, and if i dare to say, in a very coward manner, using a way more popular forum to put people against this forum. He probably doesn't like to fight their numbers against VGC because it goes against his interests for his twiter account popularity, and he knows his numbers are more close to the official numbers, so he is more reliable to get real numbers (most people here agree on that), but VGC never lied about its numbers. VGC numbers are not official, they're just the work of using current info to bring a closer aproximation of what the actual numbers of gaming sales are. VGC makes continually adjustments to get close to official data every time now and then. No one here says that you have to trust VGC numbers against any other media or info available for gaming selling numbers. And VGC forums, and its members have way more and better discussions about sales that what i see in other sites. VGC doesn't deserve such behavior from NPD leakers or other gaming forum members. Mat Piscatella and Benji are very valuable posters in Resetera, but they not only give numbers, they give opinions too. So, the moment they start doing that, people will react always. Compared to ZhugeEX, he express his opinions in forums at a minimum giving mostly only facts and numbers, so almost nobody discuss anything he says. That's how gaming forum works. They're going to be always people that are against what you said or think, and if they're not...., well, it doesn't talk very well about diverstiy of opinions and free speech then. |
100% agree. Especially about the discussions, even those outside of sales. We have a large mixed crowd here from all sides of the spectrum, both politically and in terms of gaming preference. We can have heated conversations about anything, and as long as things don't get personal, those conversations are allowed to continue. On ResetEra, if you don't agree with the hive, you will be moderated. Even banned.

Plus December will be funny to see when we have predictions of Switch under 1.4 and over 2M... one of those can be very wrong. |
Strange we have people predicting 25M for next year, when it's looking very questionable that they can even hit the 20M they predicted for this year. If they have a great lineup, coupled with a permanent cut to $199, I could see it happening. Maybe. The Wii hit 25M+ its second full FY on the market, at the height of Wii fever. Switch is a popular console, but I don't see the same fervor around it that surrounded the Wii earlier in its life.
