I don't like when insiders comment on anothers info. Saying things like

"i bet Abdiel shows PS4 winning"

"BB skews towards PS4"

"Not saying Abdiel isn't reliable but BB has enthusiast customers who buys PS4"  

That last one is really.........What? 

Insiders should never ever make assumptions about someone elses info. I already knew after he posted that Abdiel was going to quote him and say his data matches and Switch did well. 

 

 

Seems like Benji has quite the ego on him. 

Yeah he seems a bit of a baiter.... saying how Abiel doesn't always get it right... really was baiting him

Having this on his tag makes him look a bit of a muppet.

I can now see more pre-orders coming in for ps4 and xbox one versions of Monster Hunter after they released somewhat release window for PC (Autumn if anyone missed)

Like benji got it right last month.  he says switch has a realistic chance of winning, and wouldn't surprise him., then switch gets out sold  by nearly a million units for november by ps4.

Exactly, makes me think he has limited data (i.e 1 store or something) but claims otherwise as how can you get it so wrong.

Funny you didn't mention that he said that PS4 and XB1 are most likely above Switch because BF sales, so he was actually right not wrong.

that was pretty obvious unless you were a nintendo fanboy, 199$ ps4, and 189$ S plus X launch were of course gonna be me most likely ahead. not mention ps4 stock was selling out  every where, but he has a huge amount of data right? yet he cant tell switch was gonna lose for sure being out sold by near a million, he even said it wouldn't surprise him if switch won.

Well how you wrote it look like he didnt wrote that PS4/XB1 will be above Switch. Also, it seems that Switch was selling better than PS4/XB1 before BF and then because and that because huge BF deals PS4/XB1 were selling better than Switch, but problem was it was hard to say at that time how much better they were selling than Switch for end month result. But December is much easier to track because we didn't had something like BF period for sales.

he says he has actual numbers, so would the numbers be harder to track?
