Why would anyone care about this site undertracking PS5 or Switch units? There are official data coming every quarter and putting everyone in their place. In fact those estimates are so absurdly useless I don't even know why they are being put together. Specially after last quarter and the following damage control. I think trunkswd is doing the smart thing here by slowly adjusting to the Sony/AMD/IDG accommodating Series estimates because it's obvious that whatever he was going for before was overinflated. You make a small initial adjustment then in the following months keep shaving Series units until it looks like a remotely reasonable number. You can leave your fanboy talk at the door as this thread was pretty much free of it until you came around. |
I tried to avoid being direct so you would perhaps be less embarrassed and learn something but I suppose not.

I think the strategy over here at VGChartz is not to acknowledge it and chipping away units so people don't notice their estimates getting in line with the only factual data we have. "See? We were dead on all along!" |
Don't pretend like you weren't being a snarky asshole.
And is this one about VGChartz/Trunks or Welfare?

Of course they did you baka, you. How dare the very maker of the SoC in both consoles get it wrong when we have people pulling numbers out of thin air correcting them. The very same people who doesn't dare to publish their estimates from Europe because their only source for them resigned and they are now in the dark without a percentage to make even more stuff up. |

I don't care about the console wars, I hardly pay attention to console sales. What I do care about is people being dicks to staff like Trunks, I believe he is fair and does as good of a job as he can with the information he has available on a bare minimum wage, without Trunks we would have no estimates at all, nor would we have any news articles, it is fair to say he is a vital reason the site is still alive. He never gets confrontational with anyone and yet somehow I see multiple people even on this website being a dick towards him, it is very annoying.
By all means, discuss the estimates and respectfully debate them, provide new information when available and Trunks will listen, but don't be a dick about it, if you want to be a dick about it then feel free to go and create your own estimation website. Now I didn't have to respond like this, I'd strongly suggest that you move on and reflect, which you should have done after my 1st post.
