Yes that's what eating crow means but we have been over this before, I felt like you were trying to mislead. It's over now, @DonFerrari continues to be dishonest about what I said. I didn't have an issue with your pessimistic prediction but instead what seemed to be you being dishonest about making it. He continues to claim I had an issue with it being pessitimistic, which doesn't make sense because I would want you to be wrong or "eat crow". All of your post is useless, no one had an issue with your prediction. You stated you were right all along about the 4 million and Curl correctly reminded you of your original 3 to 3.5 million. This isn't about your prediction but the potential dishonesty. We have already cleared this up, its over no need to come to Don's rescue.

I am not coming to Don's rescue, and also this wasn't directed to you, but as I already written, it was adresed to everyone who called my prediction pessimistic (and yes including you). It was not pessimistic and I explained why. Of course with the end result you can call it pessimistic but I described why before the year end (or the year half maybe) this original prediction wasn't pessimistic but was normal and realistic all the way. Also no, I was not telling curl or anyone I was right all the way, I just told that "my prediction of 4M earlier in the year was right ". So I just didn't adressed my original one, I chose to talk about my latest prediction. No one said I was right all the way, always, all the time. You understood it like that. Also I am just pointing out something that obviously need to be cleared out, not starting anything. (Again it's not directed specially to you, it's for @curl-6 too and if there someone else thinking the same way too).

Also as you see, I am not even touching the surface about what you argue there .. If I have to .. I agree with both. PS year of 2023 is success, however is success only about PS perfomance in Japan compared to previous PS consoles and I agree it can be called good performance only for the PS market in JAPAN (talking pure hardware numbers here). However it's perfomance is mediocre cuz Switch showed what the Japan market potential is, and PS is still very far from it. Switch, and DS both showed what Japan market is capable of. Again, I am talking pure hardware numbers here. Software is even more dominating for Nintendo than hardware there. I don't have any comment to make about software. At least from the top list every week I see. I am not much into those software sales, as it was easier (and honestly way more interesting than only those in japan or particular countries) before when VGChartz tracked them all worldwide every week and they were all on the top page. (By the way I would enjoy to make comparisons and charts if I had data on all the software, worldwide, official data on everything, the way like it was before .. but now we get what ? only on certain titles ? only for japan ? if someone is more informed please light me up)
