| MrPickles said: @Gobias, his biggest prediction whose time has passed so far, that the Wii would sell 20 million by year's end, was off by 800,000. That seems like a lot, but he was off by a mere 3%. A small number like that can be attributed to price drops and aggressive marketing by the competition, so if things stayed the way they were, he probably would have been right. And it's not that we think he's psychic or anything, the OP just asked what our insane 'John Lucas' predictions were for next year. |
less than 800K, Japan hasn't been counted, and sunday and monday haven't been counted
