I won't say the names because i don't want to and i don't need to. I'm not upset about what people called me as much as you saying i wasn't right to be honest.....

What is so wrong about saying Switch will fight to reach 17M shipped??? If Nintendo reached the goal of that 17M, is precisely because they will fight to do it, from my point of view. If a team wins a tournament, even if is expected to do it, they have to fight for it.

You and me don't know the number for sellthrough sales, so i can't say i'm right and you can't say i'm wrong yet. The only number that we can use to prove is shipment numbers, and sorry, i could not be more specific about the number i expected. I said it multiple times. 9-10M shipped for Q3, 2-3M shipped for Q4, so 32M total shipped by Q3, 12-13M shipped for the rest of the year, and i specifically said i expected 17M shipped by FY.

I don't know how you can not admit that...

"Partially right and partially wrong" means that you were right regarding some points, but wrong on others. It has been acknowledged from the beginning that you were right on some things. "Fight to reach 17m" has to be another victim of the language barrier, because it actually means that someone has to work extra hard to accomplish a certain goal. But Switch hasn't received a price cut and the release schedule has been far from well-rounded this fiscal year, so it's far from fighting; most people would probably call it coasting to 17m because Nintendo hasn't been making much of an effort and fiscal Q4 only reinforces that with its release schedule.

You came into this thread as if you had had a clean sweep (i.e. right on everything) and therefore deserve an apology for what you've been called in the last few months. But since you were partially wrong too, there's no good reason why you should get an apology for everything. The lowballing in particular is something that you continue to do in this thread.

I hope that cleared things up a bit, and if you aren't going to name names, then this has pretty much run its course. Of course you are free to get in your final words, but afterwards it's for the best if the thread returns to the topic of financial data.

The apology isn't because of they thinking it would sell 20M and he saying 17M. But because people were saying he was a troll and hater for saying it would do 17M or that it wouldn't outsell PS4 in this year sales.

I've been called a hater, biased, lowballer, pessimistic, sony fanboy, to have an agenda, and a few other things that i don't remember now for months but I guess i was living in the right dimension after all.....

To all of you that called me that...THANK YOU.

Lol, you act like you're the ONLY one who thought Nintendo would miss their target. Many Nintendo fans includung have been predicting around 17-18m the entire time. 

How many of these Nintendo fans were called haters and trolls?

Looks like Pachter was right.

All hell will freeze... but perhaps we can help ourselves and say the slightly short would be shipping 19M and then Patcher being still wrong. But he gave us a scare this time.
