you people can't hang john lucas yet. It released the 1st, the sales data is only for the 1st. He still has 6 days left for 1 week to actually pass. He did state specifically that it was 1 real week, not 1 sales week.

so it only needs to sell 3.5 million in 6 days

That's right.

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?

 

Read the link I put right beside that sig entry. That's why I said see the following thread for details. You can only write so much in a sig.

Japan may fail & I'll have to own up to that. But the source prediction was really about all territories combined. Staggered launch.

I DID say Japan alone as a specification. Should this fail my prediction will only be half wrong. We still will have to see how it sells in the opening week in the other territories.

I won't update my sig until the week is over anyway. Not until Dec. 8th.

P.S.: Thanks for defending me damkira. But I may end up wrong on my Japan prediction. I wasn't comparing Japan opening week of Halo 3 to Japan opening week of Wii Fit. That was a no brainer. I was comparing Wii Fit Japan opening week to Halo 3 worldwide opening week. But regardless of that specification being wrong the larger overall prediction will be right. If Wii Fit sold well over 200,000 in one day in Japan, after next week's Japan tally is counted up and Wii Fit launches in all territories next year it's most likely going to add up to beating Halo 3's worldwide record. If the launch wasn't staggered I would have never said Japan only. I originally wanted to say Wii Fit worldwide vs. Halo 3 worldwide. So I just made a specification to account for this. Only if the combined opening week totals don't add up will I be completely wrong on this one.
