me saying he's info is useless is to me so terrible. his info plain in simple is not helping me predict more accurate numbers. lets not forget how loud he was november about him having actual data, meaning his data would reflect npd.

Yep i remember you getting banned on ResetEra for constantly calling a verified insider's data useless.

I don't really care it's useless, people act like he's a god there, when he always covers all his angles, and can't even be sure if switch is gonna lose when it got outsold by 900k in November, yet he has major part of the data. i was a believer in him until i started to notice he covers all his angles but thats just my opinion.

Lol ive noticed old people seem to think its ok to say terrible things about people as long as they say this key phrase at the end

 

"Shes a fat, pathetic loser......god bless her heart"

Why you gotta be so loud about stuff like his all the time?

 

Also you said his data is useless not his data is useless to you and that he should just stop.

Not one person has all the data except those that work for npd. Maybe he has data for a segment of the market and gives what he feels will happen but you don't gotta be like a dick about it 👌

No idea why Beji still has that "sales insider" tag. Abdiel's info was way more useful. He went in depth on how each console sold. Beji just gives vague hints........ "possibility Switch could win" "XB1 starting pretty strong" .........useless data that tells us nothing. For February he said he wouldn't be surprised if XB1 won the month. Well? He also said "is there any reason why Switch won't win every month?" Well?????

His info doesn't match the outcome. Abdiel's did. And now because he bated Abdiel for December NPD and made a dumb comment about "bestbuy skews towards PS4" in turn making Abdiel's info regulated to......."well his data favors PS4 so i'm not going to pay too much attention to it. I'll wait for Beji's info"........Abdiel hasn't posted anything since.

I swear to god this is the last time i reply to this kind of stuff, because even though it should be EASY to understand the point, you just don't get it and this is honestly very boring.

Benji has PART of the data NPD track, and for what i understand that's a TINY part, he give us what he can see, and he specific 82891981272 times this. His info CAN'T BE used for a full picture in the market, and he said that.

That said, so far, he has a very good track, as in November he stated that it Switch most likely would have not reached the million mark, Switch would win December, and February would have been third.

 

"But he said he would not be surprised if XB1 won" so? Do i seriusly need to explain this quote, omfg, alright, he just said that an XB1 victory would have not been that surprising for him, and he never said PS4 was gonna lose, he basically just said XB1 had a chance, but for god, he didn't even said his data showed a XB1 victory.

 

Ok here how this work, let's say NPD numbers are:

PS4 - 200
XB1 - 150
NSW - 100

 

And Benji has this:

PS4 - 50
XB1 - 48
NSW - 35

Since he has a tiny part of the market tracked, he CAN'T be sure if outside of that market he has the PS4 completely killed it or it bombed, so every times, even if his data show insane gaps like 2:1 or 3:1 he will ALWAYS say that nothing is sure, like in November where PS4 outsold Switch by over 2:1.

"So his data is usefull if he can't be sure of the results" yeah well then why the heck are you in an AMAZON thread!? Do you not understand Amazon work the SAME freaking way, as abdiel?

While he always say "don't get too much in my comment", what he say most of times is a good picture, because:

November was very similar with his data
December was very similar with his data
No comments were made in January
February was very similar with his data

For February, his data was only a bit off on the PS4/XB1 gap, as he said it didn't showed a good gap in PS4 favour, but was spot on on Switch so that was still not bad, expecially after 2 good months of tracking.

 

The point is, his data is what is it, is pretty easy to understand, and if you pretend it gives you the precise winner then idk what to tell you, Adbiel has been wrong just as much as Benji and no one was ever so aggressive with him.

 

I'm honestly done with all of this. If you understand good for you, if not, then that's it i won't boder again.

 

Oh please. He's the least reliable person with data. Abdiel's was better no question. Stop defending him. Why am i in a Amazon thread? Because Amazon is more accurate, and tells us more, than him too.

Not getting into an argument over this. You have your opinions about him, cool.

PS related items starting to get back into the top 20. Still little Xbox presence.
1 Switch console slipping a little. Kirby holding strong as the best selling Switch game.

It's still here. We all still need to post even when things don't work out for our console of choice. A lot of users weren't really adding to the discussion before and just saying stuff like "Nintedomination", "another win for Nintendo this month" and "Wow! Nintendo is dominating".  Some doing it almost every day. Atm those users can't say that so they've gone AWOL. But those that are willing to stick it out should be encouraging some sort of discussion.
