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).

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).

3 -fair enough

4 - Have just posted the link and said "Intrinsic your original prediction was 35-40m"? Nope, he felt the need to make more remarks on it. And as I said, he later requested me to have more humor, if he wasn't mocking he would say something along the lines of "I wasn't mocking him, I was just correcting his memory" not that it was really relevant since the user himself had admitted to lowball.

5 - Fair enough, no need to try and reason with someone just making outlandish remarks without reason. So he may have a point that will change your opinion. Like our porcupine. Even if you disagree with him you may be sure that his analysis and opinion is heavely data driven.

The software charts from NPD are out.

“Fallout 76 physical sales achieved the third highest launch month sales in franchise history, trailing only Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas.”

Laughs in Obsidian

For a game with so many cheering against. That seems like they will be disappointed with it doing fine.

Oh...gotcha, thanks.  So what are the final numbers?

Rounded

PS4-1.47m

NSW-1.36m

XBO-1.34m

Basically a triple statistical tie.
