Personally, no. If I low-balled the sales projections for a game/console and was proven wrong early on, I'd just stop while I was behind. In hindsight though, I'd give you a mulligan for your initial Switch projection because, like you said, a lot of people (even longtime Nintendo fans) gave low numbers for it; plus, the only ones I'd be willing to take to task are the ones that made a spectacle about low-balling the Switch's sales potential early on (three of whom I can think of off-hand). That being said, while a lot of people predicted low numbers for the Switch early on and then adjusted, I don't see a lot of those people putting a big spotlight on themselves by going on for 30+ pages defending their adjusted projections that still don't make much sense to a lot of Nintendo fans.

Thats a new one.... so I put this "spotlight" on myself?
I will agree with you though, I should have just ignored all the people that nicely asked me to shed some light on the reasons for my prediction.

Well, let's put it this way: this thread is how I'll remember you from now on. It's not a bad or good thing, it's just that this thread and '80m' will pop up in my head whenever I see you reply to something. It's like how I remember tbone because of his Splatoon sales prediction and subsequent bold predictions or quickrick because of his negative Nintendo hot takes and how he would always dial them back whenever he felt like he was going to be wrong.
