I see that he smells what I'm cooking when I say lifetime sales of Wii will be AT BARE BOTTOM, VERY LEAST, MINIMUM of 240 Million units sold. I see 500 Million as a territory when this is all said and done. It will break all records and all conventions and all rules and all modes of thought. This game console was called Revolution for a reason. And you're only seeing the opening stages.

Hi there.

 

Please come back to give us your absolutely flawless predictions for Wii U. You can join such industry analysts like roll stoppable and the vinashi-tyag, imagine what kind of predictions the team could do! Only sky is the limit! Maybe this time 750 million for Wii U.

To be fair, he was right about his first prediction; 20m by the end of 2007. Let's see you make a better one when the PS4 comes rolling out.

Yes, he basically got one right and everyone started worshipping him (and Sean Maelstrom). JL's claims were always ridiculous, as were Avinash's. You'll notice that they're both gone from the site since things started going south with the Wii sales and there are a lot of members in here who had and still have predictions that are a lot better and pretty damn accurate.

Honestly though, I miss JL, not because I agreed with his views or predictions but because he represents a big and bygone era on Vgchartz when the boards were blazing with gaming and sales related discussions and he is probably the most outgoing and nest-stirring member we ever had.

We need a new John Lucas, pronto!

PS: Am I a little ashamed of some of my earlier posts on this site? Oh yes. But at least I stay put and own up to them.
