I dunno seece why are you so discourteous?

I just got the impression that he had more internal info than the public release. In the past hes made statements like these before release too and iirc theyve always been pretty close.to npd.
I would think it would be a mistake as a high paid analyst to disclose bad info only two days out from npd.

Wait till Thursday and you'll get your answers.

Well it's already been spelt out, he gets the same data as subscribers at the same time. His predictions are always that, just predictions. He's mentioned how he talks to MS and Sony (and sometimes Nintendo) before to gauge how well they've done.

He's already said on the latest bonus round, it doesn't matter to his investors if he's wrong, they're not paying him for NPD predictions, they pay him to ask what he thinks companies might do.



 

Hold your horses gentlemen, this is based on the first 24 hours and merely a prediction....

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

@seece, then why bother paying him at all...

The adjustments started.

Now VGC shows 936k for US instead 1.05m... PS4 1.25m like Pachter.

Xbone week:

Week 1: 640k
Week 2: 295k

The first week number is getting inline with my maths... I think the BF is a little high yet.
