Luckily for me, I will not have made any inaccurate predictions to be proven right or wrong. Particularly with absolutes that are based around the console I am a fanboy of, like Leo-J did.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok I wasn't going to do it, but this sentence has forced me to do it.

"I predict that Brawl will easily sell 1m in others on week one"

"In my personal opinion, Brawl will likely outsell its American debut, in Others, and yea, I'm serious."

Actual SSBB others opening week: 300K

EPIC FAIL.

lmfao! Nice one tombi.

leo-j, you're awesome. Congrats. leo-j - 1 (for now) wii boys - 0

I never saw this before, but I'll reply now. Yes, I at one time made absolute predictions on this site. I was a n00b to numbers when I first joined, like everyone else. I accept being called out on them, as should everyone.

However, if you assert that my prediction at the time was an epic fail, then you must assert that Leo-J's prediction at the time, was an epic fail. Leo-J's prediction might indeed be proved to sometime in the future be a win, however mine will not.

I, unlike most other fanboys on this site, am willing to adhere to my own logic.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

But as soon as it crosses 120k that week, you're incorrect.

No matter how you word it, you said that he was wrong.

If you didn't say he was right, you said he was wrong.

Now you're wrong.

Looks like Leo-J is still right (years not over, but holidays will only increase sales)....but I have to wonder why the hell people don't just wait until NPD figures to open their mouths!? It would sure help them avoid eating crow in the future.

 

Because we were going by the assumptions that Leo-J's predictions weren't based off NPD, but VGChartz numbers, at the time, which I very clearly stated in my posts, along with the understanding that it was very likely that the numbers would be adjusted upwards.

You know what though. I probably should have just kept my mouth shut.

Defending myself at this point, even though I have a valid courtroom defense, is just a knee-jerk reaction.

Sorry Leo-J. You were right. I had hoped you weren't. My bad. You didn't epic fail, I did, and I hope you can forgive me.

I stick by my assertion that we shouldn't make absolute predictions. They can often get brought back to bite us. Like when I was an uber-noob to numbers and assumed that Others would sell more copies of Brawl than the US.

I'll try not to act like a fanboy in the future. What else can I say?

The only thing I want is that threads like this never get created anymore.  When I joined this site I thought VGCHARTZ was a site that encourage members to make predictions not discourage them with threads like this.

Thank you. Leo-j is still just a kid.
