@XtremeBG I hate to do this but literally that same day you specifically mention Switch selling 2 million. That post literally stated you expected PS5 to outsell Switch (3 million for PS5 and 2 million for Switch. I have called you out for this before, low balling Switch and then being dishonest about your initial prediction. The poster correctly stated your first prediction was 2 million, are you denying that? We know you moved your prediction up, that's ok but was your initial prediction 2 million or no? Below is what you said.

XtremeBG: I can see the very likely scenario of PS5 doing around 3M and NSW 2M.

Yes, that comment I did. but saying that I can see a very likely scenario isn't a prediction. if so then saying I can't see it doing more than 3M also should be a prediction from your logic, and changing it just hours or day later does not make sense. I remember that before the data for 2024 started to go up I said 2M, and when I saw it doing decently I put the range to 3M, and again at that point in time pretty much everyone including me expected release of Switch 2 in 2024. Therefore knowing successor is releasing even sales as 2M is not so unreasonable or pessimistic, coming from 3.9M the previous year. And this is not excuse as you are always calling it, I am simply saying it's not low ball cuz if you know successor is coming (and if really did in 2024) I guarantee you the sales wouldn't be and can't be 3M or close to it. They would drop to at least 2.5M or 2M. But yea to answer you question, I am not denying that I saw it as likely scenario and I even wrote it somewhere, but putting DS's year comparison at almost 3M for the whole year, since the start, means that I saw it way more likely doing something close to 3M in the end, instead of 2M.

Ooh and about that debate you remember how it ended ? You apologising to me since you haven't seen my comment about adjusting my initial prediction for last year (which I haven't denied) to 4M ? And doing whole full debate out of this just because you didn't wrote your homework ..

So the poster was right and you initially said 2 million. It's ok buddy! That's all we needed here.
