Let's also glance over the fact he straight up called me a liar but I'm somehow the one being abusive.

Saying you were lying was with regards to the notion that you had always been talking about shipped as opposed to sales numbers. You cleared that up, I admitted t not being aware f it and thus the resultant mix up.

A few of you have made me out to be some crazy person making totally outlandish predictions all simply because I said i expected the switch to sell around or not pass the 3DS and went on to elaborate putting that number at 75M to 80M. I am the same person that even mentioned my original lowball predictions and mentioned that I changed them in this same thread.

Lets not all pretend like this is just run off the mill debating here. Like I honestly can't believe someone predicting sales of 70M - 80M warrants all this..... those aren't even bad sales!!!!! 

And I implore you or the genius that sought out my post from before the console even released to prove that my prediction was lower than what it was now even after  I had already brought attention t that already to also find the numerous posts that I have made saying it would end up doing alot more. And yet somehow my credibility is put to question. 

The sad part about this is that its not like I am man any outlandish claim with n rhyme or reason. I actually put out god debatable points as to why I felt it wouldn't sell more than 80M. 

I know it was just a misunderstanding, the point im making is that he is displaying a double standard to say I'm being abusive but your previous comment wasnt (for the record I dont think either of us have crossed a line in our debate).

I also dont think your ~75 million prediction is terrible, the only major flaw that I have with it is that you believe Switch will extend its lead over 3DS by a few million each year for the first 4 years. If it does that and still manages to only sell ~75 million than it will have just about the sharpest decline in console history. That is why I keep asking for your yearly predictions because I want to know when and how you expect it to have such a massive decline after the 4th year.
