No matter how many times you say this, it doesn't matter. Im not sure what you even mean by this. My opinion vs my prediction, what does this even mean? You realize they are both your opinions right? Your opinion was closer to 3 million but your officail range is 3 to 3.5 million, nothing wrong with that. Instead when Curl called that out, you acted like 4 million was always your view and told Curl your 3.5 million prediction was before the year began. You never stated to Curl how in April, you stated it would be closer to the 3 million/lower end. That was you being dishonest, nothing more. I find it rich that you can have a range but want to call out people that included 4.5 million in their range? Their 4.5 million was more accurate than your 3 million. 

The predictions are written often, and are written before year starts or early in the year. This post that you quoted was answer to a question Why I don't put stronger competitor. And I am saying with the data until march that I think Switch has bigger chance of finishing closer to 3M than way above it. However my prediction range is still 3 to 3.5M. When Curl asked, I told him I had prediction from late last year or earlier this year, I don't remember exactly when. So it can be both ways. This prediction was 3.5M or 3 to 3.5M As I wasn't 100% what I have written exactly the range or exact number - 3.5M. I and many others are writing many posts, No one can remember exactly every post he has written at every single moment. I changed the prediction to 4M later in the year when Switch got the boost from TOTK. There is no difference if my prediction was before the year began or in the first months. In fact If I call right it was both cuz normally I am saying my predictions often not only 1 time per year. Also when you have a problem of what I have answered to Curl you could post right then and there. Not half year later.. Nothing is dishonest.

Another question. Why are people not called about highballing and telling 26-27M back in 2021 ? telling 24/25M in 2022 and telling 5M for japan this year ? Why are only the low side predictions called out and no one is talking about all of those who gave way higher predictions for the Switch than the real sales happened to be ? So no one has a problem with them but all of a sudden when I am on the low side it's a problem ?
