Forums - Sales Discussion - An early generation prediction.

I was googling aroung looking for Sonys last fiscal quarter report (June through September. If anyone could give me a link btw i would be grateful) and i found this rather funny prediction made i think a few days after the PS3 released; http://www.rtoonline.com/Content/Article/Nov06/Xbox360VersusePlaystation3_111906.asp

 

David Mercer predicted this to be what the 2012 would look like for the 3 consoles.

Cumulative Sales 2005-2012 – Millions Units
Sony PS3 121.8
Microsoft Xbox 36059.7
Nintendo Revolution23.3

 It could be close to this, if the Wii stops selling immediately, the only mistake that he made was that the PS3 would be catching up by the end of the year.

 

Seriously, if someone calls the Wii, the revolution, even in November 2006, you know they have no idea what they are talking about 



add me

what you dont think that is going to happen--man you must be a Noob that neds pwned---*excuse me i have to clean up my driped sarcasm*



 

lol, yeah good point, i am irritatingly starting to believe Pachter is actually the best of the publicly talked about analysts.

...closed doors are lethal.


Listening to certain analysts will make you dumber. Fact.



Analists are just some people , who have access to more statisticks than we ... I bet that many predictors from this site could do a much batter job , with half of the data :)



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

^indeed, that's what worries me about pachter being one of the best gaming analysts....when most of the time he isn't very good
