Just for kicks, I'm gonna call 550K NA, 900K WW.  Hopefully ioi will post the #s shortly.

Who else wants to stick their neck out for a wild guess... oh I mean estimate? =)

 

Your sig isn't exactly a great indicator of your sales knowledge.  You really think Wii and PS3 will each only sell 9M in 2009, and 360 only 6M?  Wii has sold 20M already this year and will do a few million more before it's over, so to think it'd go down so far from there is ridiculous.  Heck by July when you made those predictions, Wii had already sold more than 10 million in just half of the year.  To say nothing of your "End of '08" predictions, which are also pretty bad, especially for the Wii.  You're obviously wearing Sony-tinted glasses here.

Umm, I made those predictions quite a while earlier this year, and although they are a fair bit off, I don't see any reason for you to knock me based upon them.  I saw the economic recession coming, and I figured it would have more of an impact on the consoles... clearly I was wrong.  I am okay with that.  I guess you're not?

As site manager, I would think you'd support more than a singular opinion.  Are you going to ban me for taking an early "guess" at this weeks numbers as well, and not jumping on the "Wii sells a million each week through '09' bandwagon?

Variety of opinion is pretty scary, and dangerous, eh?

 

@everyone else, you're all on.  I appreciate good fun, even if I end up way off. =)
