I can't believe you haven't given up your July prediction yet, John Lucas. There are 2/3 days left of sales in July, and the gap is almost half a million now.

I give you credit for almost getting it right, but your current insistence takes away from that credit. Basically you're devaluing your other predictions by insisting so much on an impossible one. Therefore, don't be surprised if people start ignoring your predictions from now on.

 

He's still more accurate than Pachter

@Shams,

Yeah I saw your numbers a while back and irc I agreed with them then too.  I was just trying to give an update to the detailed numbers situation for those who weren't aware. I think my original prediction was something along the lines of Aug 12 even though it will most likely by Aug 19th.

@JohnLucas,

If nothing else I have to admire your boldness lol.  I hope you are correct about the Strikers Boost but I really just don't see it having that big of an impact in the US. And for your X-mas numbers, that is just insane! Seriously! Some of the projections I have done where I put best case scenario had the Wii selling like 4.5m in Dec and it was still only 19.5m at year's end. I'm not going to say it is impossible, because I think you were much closer to this prediction than anyone thought possible.  So I will just ask you what you think sales will be like over |--Aug-->Dec --|?
