First I'd like to do just a little overview as it has been 3 months since I did this. So go over how the progress has gone in comparison to my predictions.
First, deal with teh games I deemed dead in the water or no chance at getting platinum. These games were Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, Madden 08, and WWE SvR 2008. Since I made my prediction sales of the 3 in the last 3 months have been as follows: 3 months sales/LTD
TWPT07- 10,000, 800,000
Madden 08- 60,000, 820,000
WWE SvR 2008- 50,000/770,000
No matter how ya slice it, in 12 weeks they've averaged, less than 1k, 5k, and 4k respectively. If they were to stay on this trend for the remaining 10 weeks with some respectful increases then they'd be able to increase their sales by 5k, 30k, and 25k but with all of them having their predecessors out they have no shot of selling enough in 2009 to really make that platinum number. Truly still dead in the water and thus time around will be left out of my predictions for said reasoning.
Now there's a few games that I predicted weren't dead in the water that I was clearly wrong on haha. Noteably The Simpsons Game. 3 months ago it was at 750,000 and now it is only at 780,000. 800,000 tops by the end of the year with no shot of sustainable legs in 2009. Dead in the water.
Now aside from that there are some games that I'll put into my prediction that I had deemed dead in the water before by not evne giving them predictions or simply didn't think they had much of a shot. Such games include noteably Deca Sports which I didn't give much of a shot and it proved me wrong, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, and Sega Superstarts Tennis.
Finally some games I will not be doing again simply on the basis that my prediction has not changed mainly because my opinions can't change because others data has not changed. This includes Tigers Woods PGA Tour 08, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Excite Truck, Cooking Mama: Cook Off, Dragon Quest Swords, and DDR Hottest Party. But it's good because it opens up room for others and keeps me from repeating myself too much.
