Unless they looked at the situation differently and considered factors that others didn't consider.

I have said that i do not see the NS doing more than 80M. Which isn't even a bad number anyways. And I have pointed out why I feel it wouldn't. If this somehow makes me a troll or having some sort of weird hidden agenda then thats ok I guess. 

Well I wasn't pointing the finger at any one person particularly, 80m seems like a fair number honestly. But when I read things like 65m and/or selling below the 3DS, it becomes a little suspect IMO where the analytics are coming from. 

I may strongly speak against nintendo, but I am still reasonable and objective nor am I delusional.

Before the NS was released, I used to say that I saw it doing 50M. My argument then was that it will sell more than a typical nintendo home console but less than a typical handheld. I also said it before the NS was released that nintendo were going to kill off their handheld division and focus on the NS the second we found out it was a hybrid. 

After its first year I adjusted my estimates up for the NS from 50M - 65M. Now I am accepting that could also have been low balling it and moved it up t 75M which is about what the 3DS sold. Its fun making predictions based on whatever theories or analysis you are using to support your claims. We all do it. If I am wrong I am wrong. And I will admit to being wrong.
