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 ?

Dude again it's because of your attitude, those high ballers aren't acting like children when they get it wrong. Also lets stop being a coward and call them out then, who are these people? Are you just making them up? Where are their post? Being an untrustworthy person makes it hard to just trust your word you know. 

Dude your prediction isn't just one side of the range, you are only saying that because it makes you look less inaccurate. If you truly believed in 3.5 million, you wouldn't mention 3 million at all. You gave a range because you thought 3 million was a possibility as well as the 3.5 million. But you got childish because everyone knows you were really wanting that 3 million proven by the April post. Also I find it weird you could remember what you said at the beginning of the year or end of last year but didn't remember what you said in April? Selective memory? Or maybe because that prediction was so bad that you wanted no mention of it. Dude again, there is nothing wrong with predictions. It's how you act after them than can be a turn off and is why you get called out.

There is certainly a difference between making a prediction with data (during the year) and making a prediction before the year begins (no data). You are definitely smart enough to understand the difference, that's why its less impressive. Do you play the lottery during the results being read? You adjusted your figures up because you had data. There is a difference between your prediction before the year began and in April. In April you had data and still suggested it would be closer to the 3 million, only after Zelda did you submit and all of a sudden had a change of heart. That's because you had data and was clearly going to be over 500K off and not spot on as you claimed to Curl lol. This is why you get targeted, when you get it wrong, you act like a child. People make bad predictions all the time, hell I thought Mario Wonder was going to be way above Spiderman 2 but clearly atleast initially they will be much closer than I expected. It's how you act after the predictions that put a target on your back. Then making dishonest post doesn't help. You know what you said in April and there is no getting around it.

I didn't post half a year later, this exchange between you and Curl was in November lol. It was maybe a month ago at best. We are in the very thread where the exchange took place. Im simply helping Curl see the dishonesty. I wonder if he feels you should have mentioned what you said in April during your exchange?
