The funny thing the community predition is right on yet people think it did badly.

That means they didn't expect too much from it in comparison to the other two consoles.


We did not expect much from the other two either espacially the Wii. 

Yeah, you're right.  Recalling the original prediction thread, many people lowballed the 360 and Wii... the 360 turned out to have an even stronger holiday than most expected and the Wii was heavily underestimated (and doomed) and a couple even thought it would finish in third place.

The only reason people think the PS3 did badly is because they're comparing PS3 numbers to Wii60 numbers.

The Wii/360 sold more than we expected, the PS3 sold as we expected, that's the way I see it.

I didn't make accurate calculations, but I must have bettered my average prediction across the three and surely the Wii one, but my PS3 prediction should be a little bit worse than in 2009 and the 360 one a lot worse (Kinect really surprised me, although I correctly predicted elsewhere that it would have hit a lot more Balance Board sales than Wii and PS3 ones, but I didn't predict its huge sales and their effect on 360 itself).

Lol @ BinarySolo nailing Wii, only 2k off! That PS3 average is sooooo close to the actual number, it's unbelieveable, conspiracy I tell thee!

You might want to change your predictions in your sig for the 360 and Wii.....I'm quite certain the 360 will sell more then 8-10 million this year and the Wii will sell more then 11 million.

Your PS3 prediction might be a bit on the high side but its definitely doable if Sony plays their cards right.

Just food for thought

food! good im starving; wht are we having?

i can't change them yet as i have nothing to add, i didn't know the diff in numbers when i made the prediction, cause i don't do the math yall do that for me lol.

the next adjustment won't happen for another 3 months, but i assure u it will be interrresting to see wht happens!

i've had 3 or 5 other people(cause i don't keep count) tell me about my predictions and you my friend have been the most pleasant. i go as fare as to say the others were in fact trolling, but i don't use that term and its not fare for me to assume.
