Don't I know it.

@ Rol

It wasn't sarcasm, it was just a thread, not meant to hurt feelings, but not really a joke, because it is true.



for those that don't like JL, you're just giving him free publicity =)

For those that do like him (myself included because he sticks to his guns), I think he deserves kudo's for being so close (based on vgchartz numbers). Also, just as an extra bonus, if nintendo had been able to supply demand, his 24 mil prediction would probably have been close as well.

He was wrong, based on our information, but so was everyone else.

edit: Spelled kudo's wrong...how could I!



DM, he made the prediction over a year ago and came within 500K of being right, I think we can say he was close enough



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

With last week overtracked Japan Wii hardware, I thought JL prediction would have been correct. Nevertheless, it is very close to 20M. Lets wait for this week Japanese hardware number first. Maybe there will be a miracle, who knows.

I think he was much closer then the site says... we'll probably have a better idea in a few weeks.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
