Sooooooooooo, looks like Abdiel, the insidiers from Best Buy, which usually tend to overestimate PS4 performance a bit (in comparation to what NPD numbers usually are), said that even on best buy Switch had a better month than PS4.

There are no doubts anymore.

Benji, Abdiel, and Amazon, all points about a Switch victory for the month of December.

I think I'll ignore Benji going forward, he's as they say in olden England, full of piss and vinegar... he states one thing, then gets more data then swiftly makes predictions that basically cover every base....

Thing is though as I've always said don't take everything I say and extrapolate it as being fact for the market. More just a nice data point to factor in. PS4 could come out on top if it sold strongly in areas I have no information for. Still the 1.4 million would put Switch number 1 with my line of thinking so I'm not changing my stance on believing that is how it shakes out. But yeah could be a bit closer than I originally expected

And what about Abdiel and Amazon?

i dont trust amazon, looking at amazon it seems nintendo owns the market.  abdiel is what made me change predictions, but i heard he's been wrong a few times.

You have to realize WHY Abdiel was wrong tho. Because he overestimated PS4.

All the months he was wrong were because he said PS4 was over XB1 while in the end XB1 won the month. He also was not as optimist as others retailer about Switch launch, and we know how Switch numbers in March ended up...

 

He also said Switch won by a solid margin. Every 3 sources we have point out a solid Switch win.

Sometimes I get confused if this thread is about Amazon or Quickrick....... He might as well get his own thread titled as "Quickrick predictions thread".



Pocky Lover Boy!

We should give him the "Most hated user in shortest amount of time" award.

You think thats why people dislike you? No, its because you're a console warrior who isnt content with their console of choice doing well, instead you have to go around and downplay the others to make yours look better.

I'm starting to get fed up with the personal attacks on quickrick. I don't agree with a lot of things he says but as far I'm aware he hasn't got personal with anybody else, just made some wild predictions.

Nope, wild predictions has nothing to do with it, i just stated in my post after this why hes disliked, hes not a Nintendo gamer yet 90% of his posts are about Nintendo and always negative.

Its ok to have a preference, its not ok to go around and bash others to make you feel good about your preference.
