A few of us on VGCharts.org are pretty loopy when it comes to the systems we own. I've noticed a few major Sony fanboys, a few Nintendo fanboys, and possibly me as the only Xbot here. I was just thinking about how ludicrous some people are. Because of this, I want to hear the biased users like Kawaad and Washmul (among others) discuss their predictions on how their beloved PS3s, Wiis, or 360s will do this year abroad. I'll start with my crazy prediction(s): The 360 will do at or near 500,000 units of sales in Japan. It needs a 155% increase YOY over last year to do this. At it's current rate, it will be at that, provided it stays the same as it is throughout the year. Of course, I know this is a crazy prediction, as it'd mean that the 360 out-sold the Xbox in Japan's lifetime just in this year. Also, with a nice little pricedrop, the 360 will SELL 10m units this year, not just ship (ship around 22m). Very crazy, as it'd have to beat their June shipping estimate @ 12m and then ship 5m per quarter for the next 6 months. Doable? Yes, with a pricedrop & increased production at the factories. Will it happen? Who knows. Just one rule: Don't attack/bash/laugh at any predictions UNTIL the prediction timeframe is up....Then laugh and mock all you want :) Oh, 3rd prediction for me: The 360 will beat the Wii in W/W sales. Nintendo fans will cry foul, but between the 360 having more longivety, and the Wii (IMO) having a 3.5 to 4yr lifespan before a h/w revision, will allow the 360 to creep ahead....Barely, but somehow. Just like the Xbox vs. GC. Also, some insight on why you believe your prediction is right, or atleast plausible will happen.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
