Forums - Gaming Discussion - What is the best prediction you ever made?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=196903&page=1

This one definently took a lot of foresight, but this is probably my best prediction ever. The prediction was that the XB1 would sell 30 million before the Wii U sold 15 million. Now keep in mind this was 2 and a half years ago (far before the Wii U was discontinued), a time in which even this prediction seemed totally impossible and at a time that the XB1's future was still uncertain. I'd say I did a pretty good job with this one. So what was the best prediction you've ever made.

Edit: I found this as well: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7007691



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Crap, this is in the wrong place. Sales.

It's hard to find old ones, specially since I never liked making predictions on my early days on VGC. I guess I predicted the NX would release in 2017, and that MK8D would be a huge hit.

NX/Switch prediction http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7718066 I went fairly bold on that one.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I must have predicted something! But almost nothing that jumps to me. My predictions here are usually shots at the dark rather than detailed analyses, so if I did get something here right it'd be from sheer guessing.

I also predicted the Wii U would win the holidays vs PS4 and XBO in 2013

8th generation sales will be closer to 5th generation than 6th generation. 

When I made this in mid 2014 I was actually thinking that 8th generation might do worse than 5th generation however I thought to myself that something will happen to blow up that prediction. Anyway I should be right as the current sales of 105 million total console sales is a long ways from 170 million.

Unless something dumb happens and my prediction blows up again.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Way back in 6th gen I was thinking to myself how well suited Okami's paint brush would be to the Wii and God of War's automatic camera to the PSP. Lo and behold we eventually got each.



I correctly predicted the launch date of Crash Bandicoot: N-sane trilogy to be June 30th, 2017. Tbh It was just me getting extremely lucky.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I predicted Wii U would not require a television.
