| Christopher_G2 said: It is very hard to predict how things will go. I wish more people would just say this. We can make reasonable predictions maybe what happens between now and year's end. But going through 2008, 2009 and beyond there are things like the format wars (Blue Ray vs HDTV), price cuts, HD penetration, and game lineup that none of us can conprehend fully. When people say they think the Wii can't sell less than 80 million or that the PS3 won't get past 30 million or some crap I just have to awe in their ignorance. How they hell do they know? Going by early trends we know is a crap way to predict ultimate winners and losers, just look at DS vs PSP or PS1 vs N64. And John Lucas should be called the official idiot of these boards. |
Yeah, I second that. Post me on site as "VGChartz' Official Idiot" making me mascot of site.
And as my predictions come true watch the irony of that title. That's a good idea Christopher_G2. 
It's very easy to predict ANYTHING if you have the proper information. Some people are just braver than others.

Adding note: You couldn't possibly predict 100 million range sales in the early 90's for videogames based on the massive 62 million for NES, 49 million for SNES, 29 million for Genesis. But damn on isn't that exactly what happened as the PS1 opened up the market to new people? And same for PS2?
How in the hell do you think Wii can't further this more with the kinds of people they are trying to reach? 200 million range sales may seem unfathomable right now but that's just like the early 1990's perspective before PS1 broke the 100 million man piñata wide open.
There are 6.5 billion people on planet earth. There is MUCH more room for market growth.
