9 over the 750 mark...

Which makes it 20 people overestimating (assuming it does 750K in total first week, which seems likely) and 49 underestimating,

So, in the end, looks like KZ2 is performing better than what was expected here in this site

Lol.

You've pretty much ignored everything I have said in this thread bar once obscure cherry-picked comment huh?

so? eevery prediction must be 100% accurate now? even the ones predicting 1 million were less wrong than the ones perdicting 400k(which there were more of) i dont see you going on about how everyone underestimated the game



Starcraft give it up. You're not making any sense... let alone proving a point.

You rarely see anything other than what you wish to see Max.

IF that weren't the case, you would actually have read my posts, and would be interacting with what I am saying, rather than what you want me to be saying.

@starcraft
This reminds me of the joke (I hope it's a joke, at least) where G.W. Bush makes a public statement to express his concern at learning that "half of all american population has under the average IQ"

This to say that even if _half_ of all the people who made sale predictions were over the real mark, that would be still spot on statistically (assuming symmetrical distribution etc etc).
It does not prove anything, because the other half would be _under_ the mark, and as much wrong as the first half.
You're just more sensible to some opinions than to others, as we always are. And while I doubt that really there have been hundreds of thread starting in 2005 and hyping KZ2 (the real hype is maybe 6 months old), I guess that you just remember the most fanboyish opinions instead of the vast majority of reasonable people.
By making sweeping statements and calling the sales "underwhelming" with respect to what you yourself tag as "fanboyish" expectations, aren't you just validating the worst aspect of the discussion? Break the circle.

^ only way hell stop trolling is getting banned again.

until then we must just keep proving him wrong over and over again and let him keep trying to spin his way out (which really makes him look silly) so he doesnt think hes won

Problem is, you're carefully avoiding measurable statements because you know they can't be challenged easily. If you say "KZ2 is the most hyped PS3 game ever", there's no effective way to measure that, we could try to count the number of threads, the hits in the database, the number of KZ avatars, the number of times someone said "KZ2 will be huge", but in the end, there's no way to measure it, so in the end, the argument holds no place as it can't be verified.

The only time you provided something that can be measured, you were proved wrong

Well, you got closer than the rest of them .

Thats just it.  It is that worst aspect I am attacking.  Unfortunately, much of that worst aspect is the same aspect that makes a point of attacking me in threads like these.

Without naming names of course .

The 360 still dominated the uk and out sold the ps3 in France. Definately not a good sing for sony since it appears a price cut is still not a viable option.
