| seece said: Woo! more chance for me to fail. Can I ask for tips? When is Japans biggest week, I know its different to NA and Others.
EDIT "As a note, the week ending Jan 4, is historically the biggest week of the holiday season for Japan, so good luck guessing how everything will do the week after" I should read before I post.

yes you should 
I try to provide a little usefull information with each round in the notes, but it seems no one ever reads them 
Anyways, I suggest looking at past/similar game titles (1-2 is typically good enough) for trends (does it sustain long sales, or drop off fast). Look at hardware for the last 2 months, and then compare it to the previous year. Looking at the previous year lets you know which general direction things are going. Looking at the last 2 months allows you to see if you are performing similar to the last year, and if you are generally higher/lower too.
Last but not least, don't let fanboyism get the best of you. Just because DMeisterJ says LBP will be HUGE a couple thousand times, does not mean it will sell even 300k in its first week in any 1 region
EDIT: also, if you enter enough rounds, you'll adventually figure out how to make good bets. If you want to make lots of VG$, you need to bet a lot on what everyone else got wrong. However, if you are wrong, then you could lose a lot too.
