 I think this vid should be posted here.

It's an interesting interview with johnlucas also including THIS topic:

We all excited for financials??!!!

Should be interesting.  I'm very curious to get some more definitive numbers for the two newest consoles.  

I'm also curious how long JL's predictions would have to be wrong before we could just say he was wrong in general.

Have you not seen the latest? Despite falling short of his 2013 prediction by 6m+ he expects 2014 to be bigger than he originally expected and is still on course for 35m, so we're expected a 30m year (I know). This is more than what any home console in history has achieved.

Which makes me so curious.  Let's assume that JL is wrong, and even he should be willing to work withing that hypothetical situation.  How long do the sales have to be off from what he estimated before he rethinks his revelation?  How off do his numbers have to be before some of his defenders admit that he was off on this one?  I'd be curious to know the answer to that.

Judging by how er .... deep it all is, I'd say not until 2017 at the earliest. It's not based on logic so I don't see why they won't keep up the pretense that it's just going to randomly explode. Have you checked out his videos??

I'm listening to this latest interview.  Had no idea JL was a 40 year old black dude, that was surprising since that didn't match the voice in my head when I tried to read his posts.  

But yeah, it sounds like a priest talking to a congregation.  Noone dissenting noone telling him that he could be wrong, just happy to hear a nice story about things they'd like to happen  being predicted to actually happen.  If I take that ananoly further I'd guess that based off how many times the same person can predict the apocalypse and then use spin and crappy logic to make excuses for why what he said would happen didn't then I see no reason JL couldn't just do the same.  He kind of already has by counting the 360 and PS3 redesigns as being within what he said would happen when it really wasn't.  He predicted that the PS3 would die off, and it just didn't, but these days he says "oh well it got redesigned so I was right kinda" similar to how someone predicting the apocalypse would say "oh well ____ happened so it changed the dates a bit".  But that said, everyone arguing for JL's conclusions has seemed to keep it fairly rational and unemotional so far so I'd be curious to hear their answer to the hypothetical of JL being wrong and how long it would take for them to admit that is what the sales are showing.  

Uh...

Oh come on, nobody is saying "NO JL IS A GOD AMONG MEN YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY QUESTION HIM" most are just saying that you can't call him completely wrong on his overall point because his initial prediction is incorrect.  I don't agree with that but it's not an unreasonable argument, I'd like to know when these apparently reasonable people would start to agree with me over JL based on sales coming in.
