So this is what goalpost moving looks like folks and is the textbook definition. It becomes goalpost moving as soon as the poster claims we need to shut everyone up by moving the goal up (hence goalpost moving) instead of just shutting these people up with Sony's facts! If the facts are what Sony said, then we can shut up the naysayers with Sony's FACT!

Saying that everyone would shut up at 162M is not goalpost moving, since it is simply targeting the fact, that there will be some desperate people doubting it till last for 162M. It is never claiming that Switch needs 162M. If I did that, I would never agree or say that the range is 160M-160.6M or that for me Switch has beaten the PS2 if it passes the 160.6M (which I also said in one of my previous posts) or even started a topic of when Switch will pass PS2 and 160M. If my intentions were other, first I would put a title of 161.8M or 162M, and then I would say everywhere the PS2 is at 161.8M, not 160-160.6M. You obviously can't read with context, and can understand things that are with context.

I don't claim we need to shut up everyone by moving the goal post, I am simply claiming there will be debates. Stop talk from everybody, and speak for yourself, as you already saw, everyone is against you and your attitude. The numbers will shut them up, not the other people, since those desperate people won't shut up by the words of others. And also speaking about shut them up or not have nothing to do with goal post moving itself. Saying someone will doubt some number is not goal post moving. Saying that the number " x " will shut them up is not moving goal post. The goal for the Switch to become N1 is to beat the PS2, which confirmed number is 160.6M.

I saw your edited part, about that: the golden number in terms of numbers that no one (not even naysayers) can debate. In that context. Of course that once Switch reaches passes 160.6M it has outsold PS2. Oooh, you are done now ? Why ? Wouldn't you continue to explain what my intentions are ? Go run your winning laps then!
