1. I never anything of that sort, I said I wasn't attacking intrisic

3. Read more of his posts? You want me to look through his post history to see his predictions of other consoles in other threads? I'm not doing that, all I'm talking about is things happening in this specific discussion. And yes anyone who said PS4 wouldnt sell 100 million is crazy.

4. A blast from the past meaning it was a post from 2 years ago, you are reading way too much into that one.

5. Well yes Nintendo would have to start making big mistakes to only sell 75m, if they reach their fiscal year target they will be halfway there in just over 2 years. It would require a historical drop. And I have gotten in plenty of arguments with users for overly optimistic Nintendo predictions, most notably, JohnLucas & Kaizer who thought Wii U and 3DS would sell like 200 million.

1 - Ok

3 - No to see his behavior on defending Nintendo or attacking others who post something against it, and since he doesn't use the moderable terms he can stay float. Yes it is about imposible to see PS4 doing less than 100M, still no one attacked the person doing it.

4 - The person had already said he undershot and the reasons and where he done. So going there to dig the post and then ask for others to have humor is pretty clear he wanted to mock

5 - JohnLucas got someone replacing him to make a thread on Switch crossing 250M (but no one beats one MS executive that talked about 1B consoles this gen).

The 3DS is a different beast, though. Unlike the Switch, it had to fight its way out of a rut the first year. On top of that, it doesn't have the multifunctionality of the Switch and its sales curve, when aligned, is quite a ways behind it. 

Always let the data guide you through predictions. 

I agree it is a different beast and 80-110 is a very reasonable prediction bracket unless bonkers situation happens.

3. Well I cant really call people out on things I dont see.

4. I'll say it again, intrisic claimed 50m was his original prediction, the other user pointed out that it was actually 35-40m. That is not mocking someone, that is called correcting an error.  There is nothing wrong with intrisic forgetting, we all forget things, but at the same time there is nothing wrong with refreshing someone's memory.

5. Ya I saw that prediction and it's so dumb that it's not even worth arguing over.

One other reason why I question intrinsic and not some other posters is because intrinsic is an overall good poster that I enjoy debating with so I will try picking his brain when he says things I dont agree with. I enjoy a good debate and he is a good opponent (same goes for you).
