What is the best prediction you ever made?

Probably my 240 million lifetime predictions for both Wii and Wii U. No, wait, that wasn't mine!

I've had a few that were pretty good but most are fairly simple or predictable (like the overall direction of the market). I will add that I was among the very first in here, along with kowenicki, who said that the smart device revolution would seriously damage other sectors of gaming, most of all dedicated handhelds, there was very, very little support for that notion in here at the time and the DS was even still selling well.

The funny thing is before that incredibly wrong prediction, JohnLucas did make a few bold predictions that turned out to be right. He had an almost cult-like following and well I think it got to his head...

I'm surprised he hasn't come back now that the Switch is looking like a hit.

He logged in about a month ago after two years away, he's probably preparing a comeback! Expect a 240 million lifetime thread any day now.

He got a few things right at the beginning of the 7th gen but then it all went sideways and the crazy conspiracies and insane numbers popped up everywhere, his fans still stuck by him. It's amazing the amount of tosh one can swallow or even defend from someone you look up to or at least partly agree with. Human nature, I guess.
