well good news for sony is that it's going to pass sales expectations for the year. My numbers were formatted to meet the sales quota of 13M, and it's trending to possible 14 or 15.

Aren't Sony's sales expectations for their fiscal year instead of the calendar year?

yeah. I believe I planned for it to hit 13 by christmas. Which would be 15 by fiscal year. I think.

lock the thread its cursed

jonop will win it

he was also mentioned in my earlier post but i had not picked him b/c at that time VGC numbers were different than they are now, but i had chosen him as a candidate

if you dont believe he will win just look at his PS3 numbers he doesnt even have a big bump like many others on week 7 so he wont loose as much as most others then

im done i forfeit, i will try to enter as an alt next year to further prove my theory

Lots of people don't have a big jump from wk6 - wk7, myself included as I didn't think GT5 would have as much of an impact as PS3 fans are assuming.... it being on BF week kind of annoys me though as with the bundles it will have will mean huge BF sales in America, plus the expected huge PAL release and I suspect we are all going to be low with week 5 predictions, with possible exceptions being Luthor and non-gravity.

Also assuming the winner based on a single week for a single console is a tad overboard, there are 50 predictions involved for everyone who predicted all 5 consoles, 1 week doesn't mean much overall... certainly not 1 good week (a bad week can effect things more, like Squilliams X360 week 2 just did)

What was that about PS3 fans? Source thinks PS3 could hit 1.2 million on Black Friday week. It's going to kill everyones points. Although as you point out it's only one week for one console.

Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

i also believe PS3 will get near or pass the 1.2M mark for BF week and sell 1M a week at least once again this year soon after BF

also didnt realize i won the week last week im the only one to win at least a week in every TWRoO comp. unless that big yellow lion wins one this year, also i believe i hold the record of number of total week wins now at 8 out of the total 22 weeks ive predicted WOW this all with original numbers of course

Oh. No.

I counted from last year January. A year is a year for a very cursory estimate of sales.

However, my statement that they would sell 15 M by year end is going to be wrong because I forgot that I was counting from January.

For the calendar year 14-15 million certainly seems possible, they so far sold 9 million units in 2010 and last year they sold 5.5 million units in the remaining weeks.
