I've been paying atention to console sales predictions......come on people!

Wait, you don't think the Wii will manage 38-40M? You do know that, if the Wii sells the exact same as it did last year, it will end at 40.5M?

Up until now, it has seen a YoY of roughly 50%. If it keeps that ratio, it's going to sell 43-44M, and it is very likely to beat that ratio.

 

The Ps3 predictions aren't really very good. 22M is unlikely, but it's still possible. 5M is low end, 5.5M is high end for it, leaving it in the 21-21.5M area. The predictions are optimistic, but a hell of a way from an F grade.

 

The X360 predictions. Stupid beyond words, and the worst by far.

23-24M? Don't be ridiculous. It's bound to sell at least 4M, leaving it at 25.5M, and there's a good change it will beat 26M.

 

So my grades.

 

Wii: B+

Most people are unaware of how well the Wii really is selling, and compared to most other people, these predictions are realistic.

Ps3: C+

Go to other places, the predictions are far higher generally, but still, it's too high.

X360:

C-

Relatively silly, and if you bother to look at the numbers, you'll see it. Still, not hopelessly bad.

 

I'm starting to wonder if your first sentence in the title is a lie.
