Hi guys!

Waiting on next week to get the full story of the ticker tape. Nintendo fulfilled my worst case scenario ONLY selling 20 million on end of 2007. And it seems it took every last second of 2007 to pull it off.

Boy supply was harsh this year for Wii! Next year should be better though.

Oh...ghosts from the past

Johnlucas is becoming the Washimul of the Wii world.

Like Erik said, for the Wii to outsell the 360 by July, it'd have to nearly TRIPLE it's current sales to do that - virtually impossible (Nintendo would litterally have to cut off every shipment to Japan and Europe and send them to the US until July to do that).

Stupid stupid stupid. Your predictions will easily fail in the face of reality. I am SURE if Nintendo could magically conjour up 14 million more systems, a good bit might sell. However, they can't. Thats why Nintendo won't sell anywhere near the 20m you think they will.

I guess this is why I don't see you on the top 20 list for the predictions league?

Thanks everybody! The love I get here is heartwarming. I really appreciate all of it.

Great you dropped by. Big respect to your prediction. And the quote you gave us from Mr. Stick just taught me one thing: Never anger JL with nasty comments on his predictions, since he is evil and will try to embarass you later on in front of the entire VGChartz community.

But man, Mr Sticks reply made me laugh. Talk about loosing credibility.
