Well waddya know I won the Wii prize. I forgot I even made a prediction. My first winning prediction too. Now that I've got a better record than Pachter can I get a game industry analyst job?

Congrats to the other winners. I pity the fools who predicted PS3>360 or 360>Wii, and the incredible brain explosion that was a PS3>Wii prediction.

Good job kowen.

But the prize will be taken away after the adjustments, so be happy as long as you can.

Hey I still got 8th with my crazy ps3>360 prediction.  Off by less than 100,000 for wii and ps3 :) and over a million for the 360 :(



i should be spot on with wii if it is 800.000 OT and closer to the 360

should climb the chart

Your math looks wrong to me somewhere. You had me 39% or something low on X360, and then X360 was lowered and now I'm 45% off. That doesn't make sense. With the adjustment I was expecting to be more like 30% off.

It's late so my math maybe off, but 2,750,00 to 4,300,000 suggest over 50% no? 30% off would be 3,575k or something.

Maybe I'm doing the wrong sum



 

Now 16th, climbed 3 positions, and, what's better, my average error dropped under 9%. 

And overall, we grew from 6 to 18 people with average error under 10%, there can only be one sensible explanation: when we wrote on all those Pachter related threads, he transmitted us some of his analyst superpowers!  Tah-dah!   

Edit: or maybe were they sex superpowers from that Sarah Palin breath thread? Mmmmmmm... No, it was after the adjustments, so those superpowers will show up later...  O-)

Adjustments for the war! Damn 1.6% is a pretty awesome prediction slant wild/educated guess.
