It wasn't. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8250033

Then that whole nintendo games and people buy nintendo consoles for nintendo games. All i will say to this is; how many of those people remain? Just look at the wiiU. Or do some here think that the wii sold so well because of nintendo games?

Anyways my predicion is no more than 35-40M lifetime. And my reason is price and no third parties.

What a blast from the past.

So he went from 35-40m to 70-80m, a 100% increase.........ya I dont think anyone should take Intrinsic seriously when it comes to predicting Switch sales.

And this below is from that same exact thread. Meaning I didn't even wait too long before I revised my original prediction. And guess what? again i was arguing with you abut even the right t change my prediction even after I stated my reasons why. From the same thread Pisonparidise quoted. Pity he didn't see this post too...... and yet this is all just simple debating lol.

Sigh.... ok.

I have tried to explain why... I have given you reasons and scenarios. At the end of the day, what I did I revise my original prediction. Now I have a new one. So maybe I should have said I stand by my reasoning and not my prediction if that somehow would have avoided all this being that I changed my prediction. 

So let me rephrase.... I stand by my reasoning but underestimated the value proposition that was $299 when making my earlier prediction. Now I have raised my prediction and I am making it clear that if nintendo gets that price down sooner rather than later and can get a good deal more third party support then that number is only bound to go up.

Better?

And nintendo revising their estimates.... actually thats even underselling it as in their case they would have had to change a lot to increase production ha everything to do with this. Cause as i said, if nintendo can make adjustments, why can't we? Especially when you consider that most of these predictions were made at a time when nintendo announced only 8M total shipments for the fiscal year..... extrapolate that and arriving at 40M doesn't seem that far fetched.

In that same thread, from a quote of myself that you typed out..... You can clearly see when I raised my prediction up and even then said I stand by my reasons but have revised it up. The same reasons I have been still talking about in this thread.

Now lets watch all of you who tried to ridicule me by taking a quote I made two years ago and just as immediately changed ignore all this now.

You are changing what we argued about back then, I never questioned your right to revise your prediction.

Here is the actual quote from that thread:

"Im not saying you arent allowed to change your prediction. That never once came out of my mouth.

Im saying changing your prediction by a large amount means you dont stand by it.

This is what you said, "I still stand by that prediction though, albeit now I have revised it by around 15 to 20M. So now it stands at 50M to 60M lifetime"

 

Again, i dont care that you changed your prediction. Im telling you what you said was a contradiction."
