While I disagreed that Spiderman would sell more than Wonder, I thought that zeldaring's reasoning wasn't that off.

However, I find it pretty disingenuous to go from an arrogant tone and phrasing to such diplomatic answers when the numbers come out and then move on to make sweeping generalizations about the state of the forums.

Of course they are on a sales website.

The responses from Phenoma aside, the tone in here hasn't been any sharper than during your longlasting battle with Soundwave about graphics.

Perhaps.  But I'm guessing nobody will demand multiple apologies when the S2 specs are announced and the expected is then confirmed.  

Probably not, because not enough people care to begin with.

Plus the setup is a bit different here, because we have the umpteenth alt account of an infamous user at the center of it.

I have no idea what that references, but I'll take your word for it.  

Do you notice that none of the other incorrect predictions are getting mocked? I don’t give a shit if someone is wrong but I will absolutely mock someone who constantly gloated about being right.

His attitude combined with his constant disregard for data, hypocrisy, and faulty logic make his predictions stand out more. Things like claiming Mario fatigue in a year where the Mario Movie did over $1.3 billion or that NSMBU didn’t sell 20m therefore Wonder won’t, etc.

Also, like Rol pointed out, maybe your concerns would maybe feel more warranted if you and Zeldaring weren’t in a multi-thread, multi-month battle with Soundwave. You can take your own advice and ignore when you think someone says something dumb.

The only person who demanded apologies in this thread was Zeldaring.

Yeah, I didn't understand the Mario fatigue argument.  I personally think mario has never been stronger.  I thought wonder would win in sales with ease.

Fair criticism.  I like Zeldaring because he is one of the few that understands tech and doesn't say ridiculous stuff.  Certainly preferences play a role in perception.

He's said some pretty ridiculous stuff in this thread, tbh.

Definitely seems like MarioW is going to be outpacing SP2 now, especially just looking at the Japanese charts and its current eshop place.
