You were telling different story before about December sales, you were saying PS4 and XB1 will be above Switch and that Switch will be 1-1.1m.

well obviously i thought that but if you got 2 insiders saying switch is winning, i'm gonna have to change my prediction like anyone else would. 

Well yeah, but back than you were ignoring couple of points (Amazon sales, insiders infos, fact that Nintendo consoles always have huge boost in December compared to November..) that sugested that Switch will sell much better compared to November, and you were saying that Switch will not pass 1.1m and that PS4 and XB1 will be above Switch, if I am correct.

i thought switch would be around 1.1, but now i'm thinking 1.3. i questioned one insider because his info was not on point last month. i thought ps4 would be above, not sure about xb1. abdiel the best buy guy was way more accurate with his assessment last month.

Results will be interesting, there will be some meltdowns for some people here. :D

 

Of Course you want, can you again tell us your prediction?

 

 

All points that Switch is selling much better compared to November when it sold around 800k, so I think Switch sold better than 1.1m, my guess is around 1.5m.

last month i got # 1 on resetera, this month, seems too hard to predict.

NSW] 1350K
[PS4] 1250K
[XB1] 1100K

Well, well, look who's back pedalling. Care to also change your "Switch falling off a cliff in 2018" prediction as well??

"his info was not on point last month" WHAT was not on point?

PS4 and XB1 over 1 million, Switch under that. "But he said Switch may have won" that's mean nothing. he just said that everything can happen, and his info were not 100% sure, he always said that, doesn't change he was right.

With youur logic, many times Abdiel was wrong, since according to him, PS4 should have won some months XB1 won, so is Abdiel a fake? No.

 

Benji info were spot on for November, and so far are looking guaranted for December.

Like i said 1 million for xbox and ps4 was a giving, you would have to be insane no to think they would clear a million, especially with those deals and the  X  launch. i just think somebody with numbers, would be able to say ps4  wins comfortably over switch, when it out sold switch by 850k. instead he was saying he's not sure, and it has a realistic chance to win. that makes it seem switch did much much closer to ps4 then reality. this month it's different if switch wins, he gave good valuable info, especially if it wins by a good a mount.

Why should December be different? he said the same thing of November.

He is saying that according to his info, Switch should win, by a good margin. However, he also said that is intere possible for PS4 or XB1 to win the month. Just like he did in November.

 

So if let's say Switch sells 2 million and PS4 1 million, i could just say as well "but if Switch outsold PS4 by 1 million then why did he said PS4 had a chance? he should have knew Switch was gonna win anyway"

His point is that he know a percent of marketshare, not all the market NPD track, so he never can't be 100% of something.
