Last year Shams did a 10 week countdown with a discussion on the last weeks of the year and some predictions on how each week would pan out. This year I am extending it to include more for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Basically this thread can be a discussion about what we all expect for the last ten weeks of the year, and anyone willing can make a prediction for the run of weeks. (see next post for how to make predictions)

The way the weeks lay this year is a little odd, as what I am classing as the last week will span into the new year (week ending January 3rd) here is some information on the weeks and what lies in them. (keep in mind that the "week ending" date refer to the Saturday, which is when tracking weeks end for America and Europe, but Japan tracking ends on a Sunday)
