I've already answered about all of this 3 months ago.

https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/245129/global-hardware-august-8-14-ps5-and-switch-sales-rise/2/

Go and read my posts here. I am not repeating my self again.

But with a few words. My prediction was what you quoted yes. However my prediction was based on the case that PS5 and XBSX will fixed their shortages fully by the start of 2022 (which they don't) and because of this Switch will loose some sales. Now you may say that they don't impact each other. I say that they do. Anyway this is another topic. However because of this I made my prediction. Of cource that now as the shortages are still present for the PS5 and XBSX Switch hasn't decreased so much.

Oh and also my prediction was between the 15 to 18M range. not exact 15M.

Which won't be too far from what Switch will finish this year, and if it wasn't for the shortages I am sure it would finish even below 18M as PS5 and XBSX would rise more.

Also it is obvious that when you make predictions it's your opinion. No one can tell with certainty what will happen and how the thing are going to play out.

So of cource those predictions that I am giving are my opinions. As have to be every other person's prediction as well. And no it's been proven nothing. Everyone can have opinions and predictions. There is no need to prove anything. My predictions are based on the situations I think will happen. As it have to be with every other person. Because no one can say if there will be price cut for example, or shortages, or when exactly next gen switch will come or even the pandemic if you want. Quickrick is troll I am not! Don't compare me, You just don't like me that's all. And that's why you show more personal side than with someone other.

And also I don't know why you even interfere ? The argument here was between me and curl-6 and it was about the 6th and 3rd year, not about my other prediction. If we will say who's prediction is wrond or right than you have to name almost everyone here since everyone has answered in the threads about predicitions for every year and many of the people have been wrong. I was wrong about 1 thing. The shortages. If they fixed than my prediction about switch sales would be right and on point 15-18M. However the shortages are present and even last year I said it in one of the posts that if the shortages are still present than I can see the switch reaching a max of 20M. Go and find it and read it.

This

" The truth is, every time it becomes apparent your predictions are proving to be wrong, you move the goalposts "

No, I made the range 15 to 18M last year when beginning this argument and made my prediction. I've not added "to 18M" afterwards.

The same is true here with the 4 to 4.5M for japan this year.

My prediction about switch falling to 150 weekly can't be named wrong or right since this prediction was made only if the shortages for this year are present and there is no price cuts. However the shortages are present.

And I am not trying to get away from anything. If I was I would never answer for example. Instead I am telling you what is the truth. As you can see I am not running from a fight.

The only thing that can be said wrong on right (because of the situation that shortages are still here) is if Switch will make 20M or no this year as I have said last year in the case shortages don't go away.

However the shortages are present. And even for this I said "maybe" where you see statement here ? with the word " maybe " ? The certain thing I have said was 200k weekly, and now I am also truly believing that if the shortages were fixed by end of 2021 Switch would have fallen to 200k weekly now.

And I am not trying to get away from anything. If I was I would never answer for example. Instead I am telling you what is the truth. As you can see I am not running from a fight.

The only thing that can be said wrong or right (because of the situation that shortages are still here) is if Switch will make 20M or no this year as I have said last year in the case shortages don't go away.

Also my predictions weren't so many that you talked of.

They were

1. With the PS4 making more than what reached (because I like many though Sony will take better care of it) and reach 130-140M or even more if they do the right things.

2. Switch 2021 prediction of 25M which I was pretty on point (Why are you not talking about this eh ? and saying I have only wrong predictions what about the right ones like this ? )

3. Switch 2022 making 15 to 18M (if pricecut not happen and shortages are fixed by 2021 end) with 20M either one of this things happening or 25M with both happening

Now is my 4 one about the japanese sales of 4 to 4.5M this year.

So my wrong prediction is only 1 till now - the PS4 one (and honestly many many other people also got it wrong because no one would though there will be so big of a cliff for it)

Number 2 is right what you will say about it ?

Number 3 the valid scenario from this prediction is the middle one, since the shortages are present the prediction was to reach 20M at best. And if it pass 20M than okay I will come out and say I was wrong. not a problem.

Number 4 We will wait and see.

I've now added some things to my post that you just qouted, go and see, it's about my predictions in general.

As for you prediction, okay, fine. Everyone is free to give whatever they predictions they want or think of.

I don't think 2022 will make more than 4.5M in japan. My prediction for this year in japan is anything between 4 and 4.5M

I am not saying 2019 will beat 2022. I am saying that 2022 can finish equally to 2019 ~ 4.5M or lower.

Now you are trying to get me saying that 2019 will be better 100%. I am not saying that. (2022 can finish weaker than 2019 but it can also be equal to 2019)

But in my opinion it won't be stronger than 2019 when all is finished and done.

I am just quoting curl-6 that by year's end 2022 won't be 50% ahead and that 2022 won't finish better than 2019. (I am not sure if some hundreds of units have to count or not for example if it finishes 4510 or something like that)

But yeah your 200k higher prediction is enough of a gap. I think 2022 won't reach this 4.7M you are giving.

Yes. This was if 2021 finished with 100M and 2022 did 15M (the low side of my prediction last year with 18M being the high side but only if the conditions were met - price cut not present and shortages of PS5 and XBSX fixed - cuz I think this plays a role of the Switch sales as well.) Now with the shortages still in full power my prediction for this year is 18 to 20m which with the 102M by 2021 end is finishing aroudn 120-122M with this year end.

IF SHORTAGES AND PRICECUT ARE PRESENT! is this means anything to you ? or not ? clearly no.

I have just given different scenarios that can happen and that will impact sales. I am not covering anything. I 've clearly said that only if there is price cut and only if the shortages are fixed with both things happening switch can reach 25M and if only of the things is there than 20M this is my prediction and has been my prediction. I am not covering anything. And the range that given console may do depending on different situations happening or not can be with 10M range with numbers that Switch made 2020 and 2021 - 28 and 25M. When the numbers become bigger it's becoming more and more difficult to predict something with exact numbers. But yeah, everyone is free to have opinion whatever he likes and thinks, and mine was and still is that with both of this conditions met Switch could reach 25M, with only on of the met around 20M or without both - 15 to 18M.

Whether I would say back then 15 or 15 to 18 or 18M it's still a cliff, 25M to 18 it is still a cliff. But yeah, if shortages hit I could see Switch going as low as 15M this year. Sadly the situation is different and you can't see that in this situation my prediction would've been right. And now with the one condition met - 20M it will be right again.

How it is every base covered if those conditions have been met and Switch was doing 20M again eh ? What I would say then eh ?

How is this every base covered when I am saying infront of all here that if Switch beats 20M this year I will come out and say that I've been wrong and my prediction been wrong eh ?

Isn't easier for me If I wanted to cover every base or run from something just to not answer any post eh ?

Also if you had a problem with 10M range prediction why don't you come out back then and say it but are coming now ?

I can make 50M range prediction if I want. I am giving specific situation and scenarios with exact number ranges (of about 2-3M) for every single one of them. So what is your problem?

And you know what ? I will continue! I won't stop. I will continue to make new and new predicitions about every thing that I want and I like and don't like.

Whether you or someone agree or not I don't care. I will make predictions and opinions and won't stop!

In fact here is another one for 2023:

I am predicting about next year that Switch sales will fall to between 12 and 16M with exact conditions:

if switch successor isn't announced and price cut happen I can see it reach number around 16M for the year.

if switch successor isn't announced and price cut not happen I can see it reach number around 14M for the year.

if switch successor is announced and price cut happen 14M

if switch successor is announced and price cut not happen 12M

Quote me on this, tag me whatever you want. If I am wrong I will come out and say, not a problem.

Another one that I did and will repeat here is Switch's japan sales for next year - around 3M

Also just to clarify I use the word around this means equal or very close to (since no one can give exact number up to the decimals) so when I say around 3M this means 200k -/+ from 3M is also valid so 2.8 or 3.2 again don't make me wrong. for the around 16M or around 14M means again that it can be about 200-300k -/+ below or above as well.

IF SHORTAGES AND PRICECUT ARE PRESENT! is this means anything to you ? or not ? clearly no.
