So you make a thread to call out people that couldn't predict the future... have we hit a new low? I think we have.

Tuscaniman, are you really trying to argue with this? Don't quarell with them, you'll never get anything out of this and they'll make fun of you in a few months... at least that's an easy thing to predict.

For me I see it more as calling out people that keep making predictions out of there asses yet pretend that they know better than others (for whatever reasons) most, I repeat, most of the guys in the op are constant offenders, they have a '' my prediction is better than yours complex'' and won't admit of being wrong so threads like this are used to bring them back to reality but I don't kid myself they probably won't learn from this.



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Seems like everyone is doing that on this site don't you agree? Is it really offensive when someone makes a prediction about something no one knows? To me it's just another flamebait thread in disguise.

"Hmm... how can I make fun of some people from a certain fanbase? Oh yeah let's dig their predictions and sh*t on them!"

The op would've included predictions about any console and anyone and it would already be a more respectable thread. But pointing specific people is more a direct attack than anything. Be it towards PS4, WiiU or X1.



The OP pointed out their own failed prediction.



A lot of these haven't really had a chance to come true though yet. Some of these don't even have a time cap so there is still a chance for them to come true. All you're doing is predicting that their predictions won't come true. And we all know how your predictions end.

Don't jinx this gen for us :P



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Not even people who predicted PS4 would win this gen could have known MS would emphasize Kinect and profit so much early on.

LOL...wat?

This isn't a terribly good idea for a thread in its current form but we'll keep it open for now. We are keeping a close eye on it though, singling out one group or fanbase could turn ugly quickly.



so much crow eating

(even a bit slighty for me because you quote a post in a prediction thread were i came out very wrong )

say what now?

Sure, but laughing at them months after their predictions? That's low, public post or not. 


If people make stupid predictions in public then they should be held accountable for it.

That's how the world works.

Those were all just predictions. No need to rub it in anyone's face if they were wrong.


With the arrogance and certainty those 'predictions' were made, I think OP has been too kind to them.
