Sorry to anyone who may have wanted to make this thread, but it's getting dangerously close to that time. Whoever it was, Pineapple or cone, etcetc sorrynotsorry
NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY:
Back again, as tradition explicitly demands it.....the 10 week countdown thread!!! Cue trumpets and harumphs
Basically, the point of this thread is two-fold.
1. Attempt to predict the craziest 10 weeks of the year. (See figure a. below)
2. Discuss holiday sales, trends, etc.
Our biggest year yet, we will be predicting for more consoles than in any previous year!
1. Wii
2. WiiU
3. 3ds (includes 2ds)
4. Vita
5. xbox360
6. PS3
Bonus rounds (just for fun)
7. XB1
8. PS4
Deadline for predictions this year is November 4th. You can still change your predictions as many times as you want until the deadline.
This year the final 10 runs from Nov 2nd to Jan 4. This year is approximately 1 day earlier calendar-wise than last year which means trends in sales from last year can be a good metric for formulating your predictions. As Always, keep in mind that our Japanese data usually incorporates 1 additional day...ie, our week of november second includes Oct 27,28,29,30,31, Nov 1,2 for the world, and Oct 28 through Nov 3. This likely will not affect numbers too much, just be aware.
Week 1: 27th Oct – 2nd Nov
Week 2: 3rd Nov - 9th Nov
Week 3: 10th Nov - 16th Nov
Week 4: 17th Nov - 23rd Nov
Week 5: 24th Nov – 30th Nov
Week 6: 1st Dec – 7th Dec
Week 7: 8th Dec - 14th Dec
Week 8: 15th Dec – 21st Dec
