If you don't want people to challenge your intelligence, then you should stop making things up as you go.

Firstly, you came up with the standard of exclusive games define what is a revision and what is a new generation. When it's then pointed out that the DSi is in the same boat as the GBC, you change your standard to the quality and budget of the games matters. But if budget suddenly matters, then it can't be overlooked that Nintendo launched the GBC with Link's Awakening DX and Tetris DX as their first party lineup which are color versions of GB games. That should give you a big hint that the GBC was not a new generation, because Nintendo made no software investment like they do for a new generation.

Secondly, spending a lot of time and money on Nintendo games still doesn't excuse defending cherry-picked datasets by Nintendo haters.

Thirdly, you keep sticking to the argument that Nintendo combined GB and GBC sales to inflate the numbers when they have done no such thing for any other console of theirs, including those that have sold much worse than the GB/GBC. Respecting your prediction that Nintendo will eventually combine Wii and Wii U sales numbers would make as much sense as respecting The_Liquid_Laser's prediction for PS5 lifetime sales, who got mocked immediately to nobody's surprise.

We cannot have the expectation that all predictions will be treated the same way. There are predictions that are based on reasonable datasets and expectations, but there are also predictions that are not like that at all. Putting all predictions on equal footing would be disrespectful to those people who put in an effort to make an actual analysis. So when your question is why I don't respect your prediction, it's because it isn't deserving of respect and I don't want to be disrespectful to people who clearly do better than you.

I don't mind being mocked for my predictions.  In a few years, the threads will bumped up and I can mock those same people back.

Oh we'll see about that. Lol.
