What's so wrong with these predictions.

He's spot on with Nintendo's line up. We don't know it.

It has three big games coming out next year and the rest we know nothing about.

 

can you call #3 to #8 "predictions"?

You dont need a prophet to tell you that GTA IV will benefit Rockstar.

And #7 is just laughable, he says absolutely nothing after 100 words

I'll definitely take some of that pie.

 @topic: Those are ridiculous "predictions". Sure we don't know Ninty's line-up, but we don't know much of anything about this year....because it kind of just started. Let's wait for E3 until we make these kinds of "predictions".

No, he isn't spot on. He didn't say we don't know Nintendo's second half lineup, he says they're going to vanish. He's assuming that because Nintendo is being secretive and hasn't revealed their second half of '08 lineup, it simply doesn't exist.

Wait until Nintendo release its financial statemets which have their shipment figures etc., so that ioi can double check the figures


Nintendo... shipment figures? Nintendo sold almost 19 million Wii's worldwide until December 31st 2007. I think MC, NPD, GFK, and VGC may be off a bit but more than million? Another prediction bites the dust.

Believe it.

I'm waiting for MGS4
