You are possibly thinking of another market research firm, because when it comes to the video game market, they are all pretty bad. One of the most baffling examples I remember concerns IDC. quickrick and a few others were hellbent on taking their Switch estimates as the truth despite their PS4 estimates having an error margin of 400k compared to an official Sony announcement that had predated IDC's report by more than a month, meaning IDC wasn't even competent enough to use an official figure instead of relying on their own guesswork which was completely redundant in light of the existence of an official figure. |
My favorite failure was a prediction that the Wii would literally lose sales. I forget the analysts but IDC is likely. It was on a chart with yearly cumulative totals for Wii, PS3 and X360 and they had the Wii in year 5 or 6 actually losing already sold units. |
How would that work? Lol, some analysts.
Statista actually has something like that in their Switch hardware sales graphs. At one point in 2019 the Switch apparently had negative sales. That's why I don't see that site as reliable.
