I would draw a distinction between predictions made before data is trackable and projections which are based on real trends and numbers and adjusted as data indicates a need. It's not a alien concept, it's done on this site all the time, it's pretty much a stock in trade. Whenever they take a total sales graph and use the extension of the trend to estimate total console sales by the end of 2008, or when the Wii will pass the Xbox360, that's the exact same sort of projection.
