He's probably close to about 50/50 on his predictions even though "game market predictor" is really not his occupation. He breaks down the available industry insider information and then typically throws out his opinion to the gaming media based on the compiled data. Right or wrong, at least he bases his opinions based upon a fairly broad pool of hard financial data as opposed to personal preferences and biases. |
He's pretty much zero when it comes to nintendo, I think he the guy who thought the DS would get crushed by the PSP and that the Wii would get crushed by the PS3 and 360
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
