Your predictions are not crazy, all are very possible, but I seriously doubt Fable III selling 5 million, as that is almost double what Fable II got in terms of sales. Plus, the reviews were generally a tad lower, and while the pre-orders were quite high (I think 850 000 or something like that), I doubt the game will have the serious legs needed to reach that number.

Human contact, the final frontier.

2.) Kinect will sell 3 million by jan 1, 2011 - Yes.

3.) Kinect will sell 10 million in 2011, a total of 13 million by jan 1, 2012 - Debatable, but sure. Possible!

4.) Gears of War 3 will sell 3.2 million first week (Worldwide aligned launches) - Gears 2 opened up to 1.9 Million. I say 3.2 is just too much of a big number for Gears 3. 2.5 Max opening.

5.) Fable 3 will hit 5 million by july 2011 - No.

My predictions -

360 will have a pricecut of at least $50 by October 2011.

360 will sell at least 11 Million units next year.

360 will be above the Wii for at least half of the weeks in 2011 in Americas.

Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 will have Remakes. They will either be teased during the VGA's this year, or E3 next year. Set to release September 2011/ Early 2012.

Halo Wars 2 or Age of Empires 4 will be announced at E3 2011. Will be releasing for the 360 and PC. Will use Kinect on the 360.

Random, and unadventurous!

(not so difficult these days, I doubt this though. However 360 is the console with clear momentum behind it)

2.) Kinect will sell 3 million by jan 1, 2011
Sell through? yeah I'm positive about that too, especially with 14/7 mill or w/e being shipped

3.) Kinect will sell 10 million in 2011, a total of 13 million by jan 1, 2012
If they get stock sorted, again I agree

4.) Gears of War 3 will sell 3.2 million first week (Worldwide aligned launches)
Too high, I'd say 2.3, or 2.6 with a massive marketing campaign

5.) Fable 3 will hit 5 million by july 2011
360 alone, no, probably 3.5 by that time.

I'd like to predict, that Kinect game reviews (the focused line up) won't score half bad like most (me included) expect/ed.

I'm drooling over the possibilities of your last two predictions!
