Im fairly certain you were saying sony will have 5m because of chips over the summer.

Yeap... I said after the first week of PS4 sales .



Around the Network



A looooooott of people said that it would sell 5 million + by the end of they year!



There numbers I posted 13 June 2013.... it was 5.5m shipped in 2013.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5445283

In my maths...

June - 200k
July - 500k
August - 800k
September - 1 million
October - 1 million
November - 1 million
December - 1 million

5.5 million shipped this year?

Semms like Sony really increased the forecast to PS4.

After that people laughed in that thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=167439

No.

ethomaz predicted less than 3 Million PS4s sold.

And to add insult to injury.

ethomaz predicted 1.7 Million Xbox Ones sold.

To give props to someone who changes predictions so often is silly.

To give props to someone for being wrong is hilarious.

Why should we rub ethomaz's nuts for being wrong and flip flopping?

nice lol. And gj to Luthor.

Looks like a few were real close on Xbone well.

No for several reasons. He wasn't right, not everyone thought he was crazy and he isn't exactly exemplary showing for humility.


its directed to the people who did treat him like shit for a prediction that didnt turn out so crazy. 

Ahem can you please demand Zero and JL give me and 99% of the site an apology then? :P


THIS. I think the PS4 actually sold under our expecations due to the limited supply and overbloated demand



People need to apologize to him for not voting him the greatest user!

See my problem with this is there are so many instances where people made predictions (Wii sales, 360 sales, Kinect sales, Halo sales, GT sales, PS3 sales and a near never-ending list of other sales related predictions) that many other people scoffed at and called crazy but when it was all said and done, those predictions came fairly close to what the original predicter predicted...many of which were scoffed at far more and came much closer to the actual amount than ethomaz did here. Yet in many cases these instances weren't brought up.

And that's not even taking into account virtually all predictions from everyone has at least a few people that scoff at it and think it's impossible.

So what makes this one so much more special than the other couple hundred times it happened in the past year or two?

 

EDIT: Actually, it's not so much of a "problem" that I have with this as it is more of an inquiry and general observation.
