IDC and Video Game forecasts.....




Lets be honest at this time its just a guess. A guess that every sane person would make.

Yes but to be fair IDC was talking about just 2013, this graph shows 2008-2012. It looks like they had 2008 on the ball but then goofed later on with 360 doing much better than last gen and PS brand losing lots of its fanbase to Xbox.

Its actually worse, as this prediction was made after a couple of years of PS3 and 360 sales an in full knowledge of the trends at the time.

Its a terrible, terrible prediction for its time (2008) based on data that was available to all.

The OP is a guess based on pretty much nothing.  A guess that we would all make to be fair, but a guess all the same.

Weird, goes to show how reliable these analytic firms are.
