There was a member who said he would bet me a perma-ban that GT5 would outsell Kinect this holiday. People called me a delusional fanboy for thinking Kinect would outsell GT5 this holiday. They called me crazy. They gave me facepalms and 'LOLZ'.

On GT5 second week Kinect already outsells it...

I'm not going to mention names but I will be the bigger man and forgive your immaturity. All I ask is that you guys apologize and BELIEVE me in the future.

 

 

hardware sales vs software sales...Kinect has been bundled with way more new units than GT5 anyways.

So what? I'm sure the guy knew that. Stop trying to make allowances.

toastboy .. I think I need to declare you the best predictor here. You're the god BHR looks up to.

And GT5 performed much better than many people expected.So,should they also apologize?Should another ''I demand an Apology'' thread be made?No.

It would be a total mess if everyone would make such threads just because some people didn't believe/laughed at them for stating something,and turning out to be true later.

I'm sure the people who ''doubted'' you know that they were wrong,you don't need to make a thread like this and possibly cause a fight.

Yeah, you gotta see this side of the coin as well.

There were some epic fail predictions flying around... some predicted as low as 4 million lifetime for GT5.

I remember someone said that it would only sell 2 Million lifetime ...



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

"I demand an Apology" - from thread topic

"...I will be the bigger man and forgive your immaturity." - from thread body

"Big" men are mature enough to NOT demand an apology and walk away WITHOUT drawing attention.

Not much in it, but Kinect will win....cause it has also been released for longer.

Anyway, I'd say you got lucky cause you've made some horrible predictions in the past. No offence, but its true.

3 weeks left, KD is on course to sell 1 mill units next week (shortages premitting) (GT5 will be 400/600k)

It might get to the point where its 3 week lead won't matter.

So now we compare a 6 weeks product with a 3 weeks product? What? Or I'm missing something...


yes i'm sure you are....because it seems people made the bet that GT5 would outsell it knowing that Kinect was releasing eariler...

It's amazing how you found another way to do a Kinect thread.

Wait for a longer time, I think both of these will be adjusted  up/down soon.

By the way: Kinect's 5 weeks (the sixth is incomplete in EMEAA so it matters alot)

he just said there was no way kinect would outsell gt5...i think he meant this holiday and lifetime


He could've been a new member. You know how they are.


no i remember he wasnt new. and i think he even said he bet delusional fanboys permabans and have been permabanning them for years (I could be mistaken about the years part)
