I probably shouldn't keep going but I'm curious so what silly statements and what exactly is the basis for the bolded part? I've been positive about the Switch's sales countless times and literally told you earlier that I think the Switch beating the PS2 would be cool. And I already answered your question but to repeat myself I make fun of both overly optimistic and overly pessimistic predictions regardless of what it's about. You still keep ignoring the latter and only focus on the former when it's about Nintendo even though I already told you that I had made fun of pessimistic Switch predictions just this week. 

 You have already explained that but that doesn't explain or have any relevance to my questions. You say you make fun of overly optimistic and overly pessimistic but what does that have to do with why you want people to STOP making the predictions? Why not just POKE fun at them after they are proven to be overly optimistic or pessimistic? Thats my point.

You don't know Switch 2 beating PS5 this year is overly optimistic/pessimistic because it might just go both ways especially with the tariff situation possibly raising PS5 price and Nintendo confirming the 15 million prediction isnt a ceiling.

Also for Switch lifetime, are the odds against it for crawling much higher, yes but then again Nintendo hasnt fully stopped it so who knows. Nintendo is known for late generation remodels.

This is why you come off a hater because really its the overly pessimistic/cliffers predictions you can confirm are wrong. Yet you seem to be defending the cliffers (that post you quoted was talking about cliffers, but in your defense I can understand why you said what you said). Right now is time to poke fun at them only. They are the ones that have resorted to if Switch fails to surpass PS2, this is their consolation prize for a reason.

This why I said you are running a victory lap but your victory lap seems premature and focused on the overly optimistic but the over optimistic haven't proven to be incorrect yet along with you were once one of them. They are lowering their predictions as time goes on just like you and me. So no I don't consider you a Nintendo hater but you make questionable post coming off as one sometimes.

I don't want to see unreasonable things but people can make any kind of predictions they want like how people can comment on them if they want. For the bolded since you once again are lumping me expecting the Switch to finish somewhere between 140m and 170m back in 2021 with a general expectation of it most likely finishing in the 150s with people thinking 170m was still a possibility as recently as this year I'm not gonna engage any more after this.

Last thing I'll say is you thinking I come across as a Nintendo hater sometimes is just proof of your major bias since I try to be objective and thus have made both positive and negative posts about Nintendo and the Switch depending on the circumstances but you only focus on the latter while ignoring the former. If you're just trolling then have fun being annoying I guess but if you're not then man you've got a problem.

Edit: This debacle thankfully has had a good ending.
