No reason to stop because its obviously true. You are flatout telling me the 160.6 million confirmed by Sony doesn't somehow eliminate a range speculated by Zhuge? Sony confirmed the upper range of 161.8 million is no longer valid, yet here you are making sure to include it in every discussion all because you claim "some people" lol. Like stop, if you stopped parroting it, then maybe people would forget it was even estimated. That estimate is done now, yet you to keep it alive lol. I ain't no fool xtreme.

First of all, I don't agree with the last sentence you wrote, and I have made my mind about what you are. But I won't say anything on that here, cuz that would be personal attack.

Second, It's not true. I don't have any intentions. I am direct person, if I want to tell something I directly tell it, I don't hide behind something. So I don't have some hidden agenda or intentions as you are trying to picture it.

Third, It is eliminating the range of course, but what I said is, that there will still be some people arguing. Not me, but other people. As far as me goes, Since the PS2 production number is confirmed at 160.6M, and we don't have exact number, for the Switch to outsell PS2, I would look for 160.7M number.

I don't include it in every discussion, I included it in only 1 my previous comment and that one that you quoted. So 2 times. And all I am saying is that there will still be people doubting it. Not that it won't be true surpassing of the PS2. And no, it's not me, I've met this same sentence about " no doubting number " for at least a couple of people, both here, and in other sites and comments, for the whole 2024 year, and this one up till now too. I am keeping nothing alive. If I were I would directly tell it's true and the Switch needs more than 161.8M to outsell PS2. I am not saying this. Make a difference of what is what.

Then quote these people, instead of them being a figment of your imagination. You are acting like this theoretical range is common knowledge. It's just you reciting it. The world only cares about what Sony and Nintendo say. 

I don't care what you think of me because I'll never be a dishonest poster. You can feel free to directly message me of how you feel. I dont mind reminding you of your post in the past.

It's not what I think, it's what you are showing you are. And not just me, everyone can see. After all, you are the person who prefers to do personal attacks over the pure debate like everyone do. Which by the way is a sign of a very big weakness for you as a person.

You want me to quote them for you here just so you can see their posts that you haven't saw ? Why should I go search for those posts just so you are happy and see that they are not from my imagination ? you are seeing each of my posts and quoting almost each, and at the same time you yourself haven't saw those posts that say that people will doubt who sold more until Switch passes the theoretical max of 161.8M ? Strange, I will start to think that you just subscribe to my posts and you get notification when I do new one, since you are here every time to quote me but now there when there have been such posts. And if I picked those for you what ? You will apologize again for not seeing them ? I won't play that game again. Go and search them for yourself. I am not imagine things here. Your is the problem if you believe it or not. By the way what happen with your imaginary thing ? the war that you fought ? did you win ? I remember you talked about some battles, quick wins, running through win lap, and something like this.

It is common knowledge for many that there will be people doubting it cuz there are fans who want PS2 to win so badly they are ready to defend it even with some theoretical range. The world cares what they say, the problem is Sony is not saying anything, therefore people should say something. And they say different things. My post was targeting those who will doubt the Switch's 1st place until it reaches 162M, or 161.9M if you want to go by the hair. I am not dishonest too, do you forget that you already apologize to me for that too?

When I was talking about people moving the goalpost, I wasn't talking about XtremeBG. I know he's just bringing up this range that people calculated for total units of PS2 for the matter of discussion. I don't get mad at the messager, I get mad at the message, it being the range information. Well, in fact, I get mad at those people who say that if the Switch don't cross the 161.8M barrier, it won't be de most sold console. Conviently to these people, it's ok to assume that the PS2 got the best case scenario, the extreme positve side of the range, not the lowest number of the range. That's why I, provocatively, said that 155,000,001 PS2 sold thing. If they can use convinience in their favor, I will use too

The truth is, Sony needs to go out and say exact number of the sold/shipped units, and be finished with it. That would be something in between 160-160.6M range. Also there is no point into explaining whatever to him .. he knows one and the same. "dishonesty" "real intentions" "bending backwards and forth" and stuff like this, so that it's easier to put labels on people that just have different point of view for his console of choice. If Switch ends up short of PS2 in the end, he probably won't be able to sleep anymore..

I haven't made any personal attacks, you have no argument so you claim everything is personal. Then you go on long rants playing victim. You have made claims about other's actions but then cry when someone ask you to back it up. You feel attacked because i have to constantly remind you of what you originally stated. I dont care to remind you of all the nonsense you spout, so let's drop the nonsense about personal attacks and stick to the debate. 

You have provided nothing but imaginary people. You just claimed Sony has said nothing which is also not true because Sony said over 160 million and Shawn Layden confirmed the 160.6 million.

The truth is Sony confirmed 155,1 million shipped as of march 2012. That should have been sometime in may 2012 when their earnings report came. In fact some short time ago they changed that number to "over 160 million sold" at the same date march 2012! And thats not believable. Only Fanboys believe that. If i had a car company and 2012 i reported to my investors that i shipped lets say 30.000 Mercedes Benz to carstores but 13 years later i "announce" in a random twitterpodcast "hey hey actually it where 45.000 cars". That would confirm that i did not report 15.000 cars. A shareholder/ tax agencies would think maybe i sold them on the black market, the dark net (you really fund a lot of stuff there!!), or to the Yakuza/ south american drug cartels or somewhere else... There is no bill for that so its not mentioned in my earnings report. There would be an investigation because with this "announcement" i would admid having lied before.
I doubt Sony would do that. So its just hurt pride that they soon MAYBE won't be Nr.1 again... And thats unprofessional. Like i said numerous times in the Competition treat: Sony IS in DIRECT competition with Nintendo otherwise they would not spit around such lies.

Sony has nothing in terms of exact number. We have the range of 160-160.6M which I already said before. It's not imaginary people, I won't go and search just for you, I've already done that for post which you say you didn't saw. Again, the problem you don't want to believe, or act like there is no such people is fully yours. Believe whatever you want. I don't need to prove a point to you, since even in the cases I did before, you still continue with your nonsense about hidden agenda, intentions, or what I try to say so that it looks like in a certain way, so me proving it will change nothing. See now you attack with saying that I have spilled so much nonsense and pointless things. This itself is pure hate and attack. I can return the hate back to you, in a much stronger way, but if I do I may get ban, so I won't and because of that you are calling me victim.

You keep repeating that nonsense of victim and playing. I don't play anything, and I am not a victim. Everything other than the pure debate is personal attack. And that is talking enough about you as a person like it or not. You don't need to remind me anything. I should remind you, since you always turn it into personal debate about what my intensions are or what I've been trying to say, or make it look like, not the original topic of the post. It's not nonsense. Your posts are nonsense and pointless, since they are a lot more about some hidden agenda that you always think someone has, than on a given debate. Then you include some imaginary battles you have in your head and call yourself a winner. If I have to say what you are I will get warning or ban, so I won't. But everyone here can see very clearly. I am not crying and if I need to back up something I do. See, this is again trying to 1. not stick to the debate and 2. personal attack and 3. to distort the things so it suit you well on your personal attack, something similar to what you tell I do in the debates. Funny enough, you are the person who does them.

So we agree Sony gave a range that doesn't include the theoretical range you continue to parrot? Thats all we are discussing. All of the extra talk, this thread needs no more of it.

No, the thread in theory needs no more of any of the things that have been pushed. The title of the OP is 

"The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch"

Meaning, what has to happen so Switch gets to 160kk lifetime sales. Every other things regarding Sony is pretty much extra, so it is not directly related to the discussion, as interesting as it may seem to talk about a race to "best sold console of all time".

I know we no longer have access to the original post because of the hack but if I recall correctly that goal was chosen because of the PS2. 160 million would be a very random goal, so it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility to believe it (the goal) was chosen because of the PS2. Certain posters are now moving the goalpost because of fear of Switch likely to pull it off. Rol (the OP) from the offset said the Switch wouldn't be replaced until I believe this year lol.
