Saying you were lying was with regards to the notion that you had always been talking about shipped as opposed to sales numbers. You cleared that up, I admitted t not being aware f it and thus the resultant mix up.

A few of you have made me out to be some crazy person making totally outlandish predictions all simply because I said i expected the switch to sell around or not pass the 3DS and went on to elaborate putting that number at 75M to 80M. I am the same person that even mentioned my original lowball predictions and mentioned that I changed them in this same thread.

Lets not all pretend like this is just run off the mill debating here. Like I honestly can't believe someone predicting sales of 70M - 80M warrants all this..... those aren't even bad sales!!!!! 

And I implore you or the genius that sought out my post from before the console even released to prove that my prediction was lower than what it was now even after  I had already brought attention t that already to also find the numerous posts that I have made saying it would end up doing alot more. And yet somehow my credibility is put to question. 

The sad part about this is that its not like I am man any outlandish claim with n rhyme or reason. I actually put out god debatable points as to why I felt it wouldn't sell more than 80M. 

And this below is from that same exact thread. Meaning I didn't even wait too long before I revised my original prediction. And guess what? again i was arguing with you abut even the right t change my prediction even after I stated my reasons why. From the same thread Pisonparidise quoted. Pity he didn't see this post too...... and yet this is all just simple debating lol.

In that same thread, from a quote of myself that you typed out..... You can clearly see when I raised my prediction up and even then said I stand by my reasons but have revised it up. The same reasons I have been still talking about in this thread.

Now lets watch all of you who tried to ridicule me by taking a quote I made two years ago and just as immediately changed ignore all this now.

I know it was just a misunderstanding, the point im making is that he is displaying a double standard to say I'm being abusive but your previous comment wasnt (for the record I dont think either of us have crossed a line in our debate).

I also dont think your ~75 million prediction is terrible, the only major flaw that I have with it is that you believe Switch will extend its lead over 3DS by a few million each year for the first 4 years. If it does that and still manages to only sell ~75 million than it will have just about the sharpest decline in console history. That is why I keep asking for your yearly predictions because I want to know when and how you expect it to have such a massive decline after the 4th year.

I was of the impression that admitting you will be wrong and upping your predictions is only acceptable when its obvious you will be wrong. As long as you admit it though.

I don't get what the issue here is though..... I made a prediction 3 months before the machine even was released.... changed it a year later. You guys are acting like I am the only one that did this. No one expected the switch to do this well back then. There were even predictions from people saying 25M - 75M.

And my reasons cited were price and lack of third parties. Those are the same reasons I am still holding onto till this day.

Personally, no.  If I low-balled the sales projections for a game/console and was proven wrong early on, I'd just stop while I was behind.  In hindsight though, I'd give you a mulligan for your initial Switch projection because, like you said, a lot of people (even longtime Nintendo fans) gave low numbers for it; plus, the only ones I'd be willing to take to task are the ones that made a spectacle about low-balling the Switch's sales potential early on (three of whom I can think of off-hand).  That being said, while a lot of people predicted low numbers for the Switch early on and then adjusted, I don't see a lot of those people putting a big spotlight on themselves by going on for 30+ pages defending their adjusted projections that still don't make much sense to a lot of Nintendo fans.

Thats a new one.... so I put this "spotlight" on myself? 

I will agree with you though, I should have just ignored all the people that nicely asked me to shed some light on the reasons for my prediction.

Ok. My numbers. Sold to consumers

2017: 13M

2018: 15.6M

2019: 17M

2020: 14.4M

2021: 11.2M

2022: 8M

Total: 79.2M

Which results in being a couple million above the 3DS by the latest I expect to see a new switch.  

Find one post that called him a hater or troll.

Nobody can control what posts other people decide to reply to, just because a few people all had the same argument against what he said does not mean we are "banding together" against him.

Ok, if you want to be sure you nor others have attacked him or similar let's go.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8937860 - you even got a warning for flaming on this one.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8939339 - this guy have done similar remarks on 3 different threads pretending he wasn't doing attacks.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8939386 - do you need the specific word to be said to see what is the message?

It isn't to surprise that CGI had to give 3 or more warnings or mods in the thread.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8940262 - will you say this wasn't brought to ridicularize the poster?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8940568 - also people saying they didn't only gone against very negative post but positive as well. I didn't see any harsh replies to this one.
