If you were looking for "TheProf00's Golden Shower" You clicked on the wrong link. Welcome back everyone, to the outset of a new generation!!! I'm sure this time there will be plenty of new bets and predictions for people to take up and save for our future new users. BEWARE new users! This thread will record all your dumb ideas! Here are the rules:A bet is made by posting here, or anywhere for that matter. Basically, if you make a bet somewhere, this thread should be notified. Attention other users: please post any bets you notice here, as I'm sure some recalcitrants will hope their failures go unnoticed. If you make a bet or prediction, as per the rules above, you are subject to challenge. If a challenge is lost, the loser is subject to penalties. Generally, penalties are subjective per challenger decision. This can be as simple as avatar control, to as dire as REQUESTED PERMABAN!!! Again. Beware! Remember, it's more fun to make close bets, than it is to make sure ones. Scoreboard:

Time for an update:
Currently Challenged Bets:
Mikami's new game, "VANQUISH," will not be a standard western-style shooter (which is to say it will have a Mikami or Japanese bent). If borderline or disputable, we can declare no victory. - Khuutra - Made 3/2010
Accepted Bettors (1/1) - Naznatips - Bet: WiiWare/VC/Steam game choice as long as the value is $10 or less.
Khuutra wins this bet. It was not a shooter at all.
Naz is subject to Khuutras will.
Snake612 bet with Carl2291 that GT5 would not sell 2.5M copies during week one (each region's week one totaled). If lost, Snake cannot create any thread on Vgchartz.com for 6 months. If Carl loses, nothing happens.
global sales week one was 2.35, Snake is not allowed to make any threads for 6 months. Since we have not seen snake in about 3 years, I'll assume this result took place.
Nintendo 3DS (LADYLOO) will be priced at 229$ at release. - TheProf00 - Made 3/24/10
Accepted Bettors (2/3) - RedSpear (less than 199$) - Bamboleo (189$) Made 3/24/10
Red spear and Bamboleo lose. 3ds was actually 250$ at release. Which was highlighted in the thread. Once again, Prof knows more about nintendo stuff even though he's a ps fanboy. Neither of these posters has been active in a while, so I'll assume they were too embarassed to return.
ModNationRacers will sell 5 million units within the first year on sale (52 weeks) - theprof00 - Made 1/13/10
Accepted Bettors (1/3)- Saicho
Complete failure. Saicho has sig control for one month. Though I believe he is also MIA.
Fable III will release in 2010- dsister44- Made 10/22/09
Accepted Bettors (1/3)- TheProf00 10/22
It actually was released in dec 2010. So close. Sig control, but I believe it was already relinquished.
