You guys take this stuff way too seriously. Its fun to give props to folks who predict correctly, but knocking people for predicting wrong and having different ideas to throw into the mix... that's messed up and wrong.

You guys have issues.

Okay I will admit I will enjoy the "enjoy your crow, much?" posts I'll put here when the time comes, its true, but I don't expect any less from you guys, and my awesome rightness won't perpetuate itself past this thread, I promise. ;)

 

It's not the predictions that we knock, it's the flawed logic not backed up by any facts. Kind of like you're prediction of the Wii falling over 30% in others.

Wait... are you saying that you think that relying upon historical numbers, which are derived from sales in completely different economic situations, when there's a severe economic downturn, worldwide, is "flawless logic"?

 

Nope, I'm saying you've given no reason for the Wii to drop from last week to this week in others. Others does not have Black Friday, so there is no reason for sales to drop. So explain to me the logic as to why sales should drop in others.

I can't explain that one... it confounds me.  I see NA sales dropping, and there's an odd correlation between the numbers which I cannot explain, but appears to happen in any case.  By the same logic, you cannot explain last week's jump in Others, either... can you?  Only by correlation?  Last years numbers were largely driven by supply and demand.  Nintendo had to airlift shipments in to meet the demand in late December.  That's not the case now, so I don't think you can really correlate last years data with current trends.
