Well I will be damned!^

What will he be right about next? Same with that Toasterboy guy.

Mind you those were before he betrayed us became an Xbox fan late 2011. His predictions have been all downhill from there.

Yeah but GT5 is with digital sales included isn't it? It has been noted before on this site that Halo reach was bundled during holidays as an digital download and could miss maybe a million or more sales of it.

Lmao. This is fantastic. 

Oh god. This looks absolutely terrible for Michael now.


I'm sure he'll have some sort of bizarre, yet entertaining, explanation on why his prediction made sense at the time. That his prediction somehow was "accurate" even though it didn't happen. That people who predicted GT5 to be the victor were still ignorant, even though it did happen. Of course, I doubt he'll admit that he  even made a bad prediction.

I will enjoy reading his excuses.

Waiting patiently for Michael.

Wow! Bumped again. And this time he is right.

So many Tl;Dr posts in here. Why so crazy over this? Don't get it.

JoelCool7 would love it in here.


What do you mean "this time"? This man is always right

 

Is It Possible 4 Uncharted 2 To Sell 2Mill B4 2010 Even Begins.. I Think So

I Believe PS3 Will Be #1 Selling Console In 2011 What Do You Believe In?

and now this.

Seems like he's 3-0 for major predictions.

 

I remember him also predicting 100m for PS3 way back. That one is looking more likely every day


I actually bumped that thread about a week ago after shipments and projections came in. No one seemed to notice though.

GT5 will outsell it 2 years after its released. Initially Halo Reach will have far higher sales but GT will have better legs.

Pretty much nailed it.

And he didn't even need an epic story to deliver it in.

Wow! @ Engrageorange. He really did nail it with about ten words.

Has Ninpie ever made any predictions? I think his first thread was a prediction .

I've made predictions. I also joined the Prediction League(?) when it was still going on, I did pretty good in that!

Seece never accepted my posts, and he never came back to tell us how it did. Unless you are talking about Boutros's thread.

I don't know if it was by Seece or not. But I remember a thread that Seece told me to predict in for 2012. I think I did near well with that...

So much ignorance from both sides.

OT: Both should do at least 9mi. It'll take GT longer though. It took GT4 4 years to hit 10mil. I expect heavy bundling, so GT5 might do it in 3 years, maybe 2.5 years. If Halo 4 (or whatever) releases in 2 years instead off 3, then Reach's sales probably won't be too high for GT to catch up to.

I think it all comes down to when Halo 4 releases. If 2012, then GT5 has a fair chance. If 2013, it'll have less of a chance. And it depends on when GT6 releases. You also have to consider when PS4 and 720 releases. I expect the PS3 to have a longer lifespan than the 720 by 1 or 2 years, therefore giving GT5 an advantage. 

I give it a 45/55 chance of outselling Reach. If it does happen, it'll happen in late 2012/early 2013.


Holy crap, I was spot on!

And this time I didn't stealth edit!

Haha, this time you didn't stealth edit ?

So you retro activly changed a post to fit a prediction and acted like you were right, before ?

"In the past yes, but this time not, I swear" ^-^

Good prediction if true.
