exactly endurance,

it will never reach 10 mil. Who's crazy now?

if anyone eats crow, you should start on it right now stickball.

"When he retired in 1935, Babe Ruth owned many of baseball's greatest records, and some of its worst. The Great Bambino hit 714 home runs, easily more than any other player in the history of the game at the time. He also had struck out 1,330 times."

Woah... Take it easy MrStickball... do not be calling people dumb! He made a guess... that's all it was... take a chill pill please!

I'm not bothered by mrstickball. He's just one of my rivals here. A few people have assigned themselves to this role as dedicated challengers to every word I say. It makes it fun.

It doesn't bother me to be wrong. I go out on those limbs & believe every word I say. But when the facts are shown I have to own up to it. I was wrong about Metroid Prime 3's opening sales, Super Mario Galaxy's sales, in my signature is me detailing on my wrongness about Wii beating XBox 360 in the Americas by the summer. My XBox 360 year end prediction is already wrong. They broke the 14 million barrier. Big whoop.

So my prediction is half wrong. Anybody who read the original thread knows how I framed the prediction. I even clarified it later on in the thread exactly what I meant by the thread, the origin of my prediction, and how I really wanted it to be framed. You can't write all those details in the signature so I just put the link.

Until and ONLY until the conditions of the prediction are met will I change the signature. A week hasn't passed yet and more importantly all launches haven't passed yet. So I can only change the words once these time limits are finished.

I've been wrong before, may be wrong again but when I'm right I'm DAMN right & this is why people have come to like what I say on here. I have the balls enough to go out on that limb with the most impossible scenarios LOOONG before their time and see it through to the end. I have the balls enough to stick by it through ridicule, abuse, & laughter without the slightest of backing down. I DARE people to debate my theories which is why I dig Mr.Stickball & others like him talking smack.

When we see much of the stuff I say turn out to be correct more than not I'd like to see Mr. Stickball's big tough words then. We'll see who'll end up having to be more humble.

I think MrStickBall just got shut up.

It's possible that Halo 3 could reach 10 million by the end of life for the Xbox 360.  The 360 will have a larger installed base than the Xbox, after all.

15 million is just insane though.  All of the precident says otherwise.  Even the growth between Halo and Halo 2 is fairly small, suggesting Halo 3's primary sales-factor will be the size of the US 360 installed base. 

johnlucas said: nordlead said: you people can't hang john lucas yet. It released the 1st, the sales data is only for the 1st. He still has 6 days left for 1 week to actually pass. He did state specifically that it was 1 real week, not 1 sales week. so it only needs to sell 3.5 million in 6 days That's right. Besides the prediction in full was about Wii Fit worldwide all 1st weeks combined. I simply specified Japan accounting for the staggered launch. Even if Japan fails on me the prediction is still on until Wii Fit releases in all territories. I'll only be eating a couple of black feathers instead of the whole bird. Prediction is still on.

 Keep on dreaming ... it will never do as much as H3 did in the US in first week , and it deffinatly wont have a  massive launch week in Others ... the game is IMO partially a flop ... only time will tell how much can its legs drag the game ... lets dont forget , it could be the next Nintendogs in the same time :)

 I personally don't believe that Halo 3 stands a snowballs chance in hell of that feat, but it's no more crazy than predicting half a billion Wii lifetime sales... Anyone who claims otherwise is much too fond of JL in an eeerie way I think.

Personally, I claimed that the WiiFit wouldn't be the massive system seller and major software hit it was hyped to be, and I guess we won't know until the other regions have a go. 

 Not really ... acutally I think that he was entirely correct . JLs prediction was waaaaaaaaay of , and no matter how he wants to spin it , thats the whole truth ... so no , he didnt got shut up , he only took the effort and correctly expanded the idea of why JL is completely off ...
