Although its too early to judge which prediction is better, but i think probably the Wii n PS3 will reach the milestones together or within 1, 2 weeks of each other... 

ps. I hope ioi n ZorroX dont mind my taking these numbers n starting a thread on these prediction.. Just wanted to keep an eye.. hopefully i will be updating them weekly.. 

pps. one more prediction can also be added in this contest. 

Disclaimer: The original prediction were initially made by ioi n ZorroX in following thread around the same time. The original numbers are under "Orig" postfix

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=87346&page=1

But after the change in some release dates of Wii titles ioi updated his Wii estimates on 22/10 in the same above thread. Some people asked me to make it unbiased i should request ZorroX to update the estimates also in light of release date change. So i requested ZorroX and he mailed me updated numbers on 06/11. The estimate made before that are untouched. Both updated predictions are denoted by "Upd" post fix.

Btw initially ZorroX used ioi's initial Wii estimates for October n first half of November Wii sales.

PS3 numbers are not changed from the initial estimates.

If anyone has any objection please let me know.

Good thread. I was going to make it but i couldnt be arsed lol



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Seems like their Wii predictions don't differ that much, only at the end of the year that might become slightly interesting. So the main focus will be the PS3 numbers and it seems the real number will be somewhere in between their predictions for the first week.

But interesting thing is that their Wii prediction seems to be more off so far.. a bit too high.. let see wot happens in the coming weeks. Does Wii manage to reach higher sales or it stays low.. 



Wii may have some chances WorldWide in the holidays...but Japan?...It goes to the ps 3 this year ^^

corrected.. thanks...

i think People who like Sony r exaggerating PS3 Slim success a little bit n people who like Wii r banking too much on Wii Price drop n year end Japan line up... so both r little off.. final number will be between them..



They are both way off. Zorro is overestimating the PS3 and ioi is overestimating the Wii.

ioi is Wii biased as we have known for awhile, and Zorro is probably PS3 biased, so no surprises, people are just posting the numbers they would like to see.



Can't wait to see how well sales were end of the year.



Battlefield Bad Company 2 > Modern Warfare 2

Hmm... i mostly used same data for Wii sales, only changed Christmas spike, which i think can be in best case same as last year. Since Wii sales were droping year to year and now with some big games released, it can maintain previous year level sales, but not higher.

Also, you could use: Famitsu - Media Create - VGC
and not only VGC numbers.
And check your math.)
