Donny2112 will post prediction results (he has his own source for numbers), and then we can run a parametric analysis to backtrack out Xbox One numbers.

I didn't reveal them for two reasons:

(1) I really couldn't care less about the Xbox One and its growing irrelevance in the market pre-Xbox One X release

(2) They will be able to be calculated anyway, so I want to expose myself to as little liability as possible in case I get digitally interrogated by NPD goons.

 

I'm not here to fuck up NPD's business. I'm just here to help by giving a few numbers. That's why I hoped people would respect the only request I had (keep it off the place NPD employees actively lurk for a little while), instead of blatantly giving me the middle finger. But hey, what can you do. C'est la vie.

I'm sorry it turned out the way it did, but Ethomaz is no longer a member of this site. So, it wasn't really someone here that didn't respect your wishes, it was someone who has a grudge against here (at least I assume so) that posted the information.

Oh I know he had a grudge against this site, and I'm not blaming anyone here. It's amusing in a way how little he cares about my wellbeing. You would think to try and protect the person who's giving you numbers.

Another month with numbers, thanks librarian 13579.

I don't know if this was addressed in the thread, but there's any reason why XB1 sales don't be revealed?

I'm not here to fuck up NPD's business. I'm just here to help by giving a few essential numbers. That's why I hoped people would respect the only request I had (keep it off the place NPD employees actively lurk for a little while), instead of blatantly giving me the middle finger. But hey, what can you do. C'est la vie.

I get it. It's true, will be possible to calculate XB1 number later.

Thanks again, it's really nice to know at least the basics numbers, otherwise would be a complete dark.

Thanks ethomaz.

Anyway, i doubt anyone is waiting for a $500 console that plays the same games as base XB1. XB1 isn't doing well because all throughout this 1 quarter all the games that were in conversation are on PS4 and Switch. There's no exclusive software to get people interested into purchasing the console. A $500 one that plays games a litte better isn't gioing to change XB sales.

Can the mods still do IP bans? I remember them doing that to a single digit number amount of people. It would be useful to use on certain untrustworthy people.

It doesn't stop them from being able to look at VGC, just logging in.

Wait what? What's the difference between a regular ban and an ip ban?

Also I am guessing ethomaz got permabanned for trolling I suppose? Is that's why he is banned?

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Oh wow, so that's how bad the Xbone sales were.

Ethomaz is a Vgchartz cult hero. Many loved him and some hated him. He is a legend. It's unfortunate he has upset our leaker but it's not like he owes us anything. It's too be expected.

Is there a way to make a certain thread only available to people that are logged in? 



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

More like a cult villain than cult hero

There is on Neogaf, I think it's just a spoiler tag for the post (which is pretty useful, though). Funny stuff, I know.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

From my knowledge of Ethomaz , he thinks he's a numbers guru and used to copy paste stuff from gaf here incessently to make himself look good, so he would be loving the attention, he's telling everyone  about all the pm's he's getting from gaf  ,now I'm not putting him down I play destiny with him on PSN and he comes across as a nice bloke but on the forums he loves attention.
