Poor Ethomaz.

He gets called "pathetic". He gets called "annoying". He gets told to "jump off a cliff".

Now he makes a thread to admit he was wrong about the predictions he constantly gets attacked for and in response he gets attacked, and from people who tell him he owes an apology no less.

Well, you can't please everyone.

Please never change Ethomaz.

That's haters for ya.

Serious question, does anyone really believe that the higher software sales are a result of popularity, rather than a natural decline in sales for the ps4 version because it had been on the market for a longer period of time?

We are essentially comparing a games week 3 sales to a games week 4 sales, its only very basic logic that the game that was on the market longer would have lower sales.

Did people make a new years resolution to throw logic out of the window?

Its because everyone knows its a hollow thread.

Its all fine and dandy admitting you were wrong, but when you learn nothing from your plethora of mistakes then the overall "point" of it all is pointless.

His actions in the WW Up thread were classic ethomaz. Time and time again, pushing his "opinion" as fact while providing no proof and dismissing anything said against him. Cocky, smug and irritating. You just know though that despite being as wrong as can be, he will learn nothing from it and the sames gonna happen again really damn soon.

Even if the X1 marginally wins in the US, it wont change the fact that PS4 will dominate with Europe and Japan.

Pretty cool thread Ethomaz, more often than not when proved wrong on here people tend to go absent from threads/site for a few days but yeah, gotta tip the hat to this.

Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Who knows, maybe I just don't let things like that bother me. Let the guy have his opinion and if he is wrong he is wrong, if he is right he is right.

If people don't like this thread they should just ignore it. But hey, that's just me.
