Were the "F#ck" did anyone on this site predict 40 million consoles for the WII?

Im telling you more than 70% of the people on this site predicted the wii to sell Nearly 60 million consoles, and at lowest 45 million.

If anything the wii predictions are crazy, some way to low, some way out there(my old prediction included as well).

Also the PS3 can manage to sell 4-5million consoles, it did it last year with very little amount of AAA titiles, and this year it has an amazing line up, why wouldnt it sell 4-5million units?

Here you go.  2008 Predictions

I would think you missed this thread, if you had not posted in it about 10 times.

 

 

dude and some people were predicting the ps3 to be 17 million its at 16 million now, it will hit 20 million easily.

 

I think what we can gather is that, on average, everyone predicts way too low.

Most of the predictions in that thread were 40m or lower for Wii (I didn't check them all, but only 2 I saw were above 46 million, which is a prediction still within reason now) most were lower than 20m for PS3, with a few giving 22m+... and most 360 predictions were below 24 million.

This is what is in my profile.... the top predictions made in January (a few weeks before that thread) and you can see my editions in May and September (for the record my current prediction is pretty similar to the September one, except add 1.5 million onto DS ad X360)
=============================
Prediction for LTD end of 2008 (made in January 2008)
DS: 93 million
Wii: 46 million
PSP: 39 million
360: 23 million
PS3 19 million

Updated prediction (May 2008)
DS: 89 million
Wii: 44 million
PSP: 41 million
360: 24 million
PS3: 21 million

Updated prediction (Sept 2008)
DS: 94 million
Wii: 45 million
PSP: 44 million
360: 25 million
PS3: 21 million
==============================

As you can see, I have had to update X360 each time, and the same for PSP but with larger numbers... The DS was revised down then back up due to the Japan slowdown, and then my realisation that Europe has held up Japan's slack.... My Wii prediction went down and up too, though stayed similar enough to be consistant. And my PS3 prediction was initially too low, but rectifyed in May.

 

Do you still agree with those predictions?
