Aren't there enough John Lucas threads? Do we need anti-John Lucas threads too?

Yea my wii predicitons are way too low

it should be

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,- that number times 1000

ps3: 10-10.001M

Xbox 360- 16-16.000000000001M

Give the guy a break, he was closer than most people here were. And keep in mind Nintendo EASILY could have sold 20 million if there were no supply restrictions, hell they probably could have sold 24 million.

y'know, the scientific method has you round to the nearest decimal specified. Since John Lucas Said 20 - 24 million, and not 20.0 - 24.0 million, scientific method would actually call for us to round up the numbers that have come in to their nearest million. 19.51 is rounded up in this case, which would set his prediction of 20 million plenty accurate enough.

certainly more accurate than 18.5 million, we aren't playing Price is Right here. Not to mention that I've see leo-Js and others swing ALLL over the freaking place... you people started out down around 12-14 million max and that was only after you were able to finally accept the fact that it was going to keep outselling the PS3.

There was already another thread about this, but his very original prediction was for 20 million, he didn't specify a range of 20 - 24 million, and that was waaaay back when.

Sorry, anyone saying that John Lucas failed is just too afraid of the taste of crow.

You mean Wii won't reach 20 million in 2008?!??!?!?!!?

Looks like the Sony Fans were right =[ Wii is a fad

/sarcasm 

Are you going to paddle him as well? (or make him drink a beer that was first poured into his... never mind)

Seriously, the whole point of making predictions is for THE FUN OF DOING IT.

Not to humiliate people who were wrong about a guess (even when they were close to being right) so you can get off to it or something along those lines. 

@ SNES

I meant this year like 2007 but I still haven't adjusted to the new year... Must be the hangover.

@ Smash

If you read the other thing I posted, I said it was a joke, and that he didn't have to come in here to concede defeat.

People: This thread wasn't really that serious, I wasn't making fun of him for not hitting the nail on the head. It's just that he was one of the most vocal people on the site giving that prediction. And it's the one we all know because he's said it so much. I don't really care if he was wrong. If he was right, I would have posted that too, just that we all knew his prediction is why I posted it.

Also, it may still make it, maybe the prelim JP numbers are very off. And as grey said, scientifically, he is right. :)

jl's original prediction back in like MARCH was 20mil

he was pretty damn accurate

if anything, u guys should be eating crow, not him

he predicted the most accurately, earliest, of ANYBODY on here
