Right then. Time for my "How has VGC been doing in their predicting" post :)

Remember these are not opinion/not criticism, nothing more then pointing out which side of the fence they sometimes come down on!

So for the past 12 months it has been as follows!

March 2010
360 - Overtracked
PS3 - Overtracked
Wii - Overtracked

feb 2010

based on past 12 months
PS3 overtracked 8 out of 12 months. = 66% chance of overtracking
360 overtracked 4 out of 12 months = 33% chance of overtracking
wii overtracked 9 of 12 months = 75% chance of overtracking.


ps3 undertracked 4 of 12 months = 33% chance of undertracking
360 undertracked 8 of 12 months = 66% chance of undertracking
wii undertracked 3 of 12 months = 25% chance of undertracking

making 360 twice as likely to be undertracked then the other two consoles
and making PS3 and Wii twice as likely to be overtracked then the 360.

Personally this month i got a feeling PS3 might have outsold 360. It had huge momentum and some good games at the end of the previous month. Either way if 360 does stay ahead of it i doubt it will be by very much.



Very slow sales month in April, Wii sells just 277K, Xbox 360 at 185k, PS3 at 180k - GK Twitter



I predict meltdowns.

Anyways, I'll do a random prediction:

X360 - on spot

Wii - on spot

PS3 - undertracked

DS - undertracked

PSP - on spot

PS2 - undertracked

 

Edit - oh crap. Anyways the last three predictions were still valid atop.



 

 

 

 

 

Low sales indeed.

any idea on software?



 nintendo fanboy, but the good kind

proud soldier of nintopia

 

That's a disaster for Wii.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

www.xnagg.com/zombieasteroids/publish.htm

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Taking out a margin of error of 10%, you'll have PS3 overtracked 8k, X360 overtracked 25K, Wii overtracked 47k.



 

 

 

 

 

apparently they aren't going to give software numbers this time.

edit: thats oviously wrong though given the post below me lol.

edit2: Oh I read it wrong. They are only giving top 5 numbers is what it said.
