Besides the prediction in full was about Wii Fit worldwide all 1st weeks combined. I simply specified Japan accounting for the staggered launch.

Even if Japan fails on me the prediction is still on until Wii Fit releases in all territories. I'll only be eating a couple of black feathers instead of the whole bird.

Prediction is still on.

I'm a bit confused as to what your actual prediction is now. In the original thread you say:

"Wii Fit in Japan *alone* will TRUMP the godsmacking sales of Halo 3 on its opening week."

and in your sig you say:

"Wii Fit will trump the opening week sales of Halo 3 in Japan alone much less counting all territories combined."

Now you're saying that the prediction is for worldwide 1st week sales in all territories combined, and not Japan alone? Which is it? Are you predicting Wii Fit will sell more than 3.7M in one week in Japan alone or in all territories combined?

 


John Lucas, your response?

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
