My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

 So true.

When he is banned, he can always blame canada  

Last week the Wii sold about 220k WW while being heavily supply constrained.

So it should sell at least 260k (assuming no boost for the other two regions) which means that Ioi would need to lower the Wii numbers by more than 200k to save Leo-J, which is about the threshold of VGChartzN - 1.1 * NPDUS

Leo, your only hope is for NA+Japan to not sell more than last week, which given the 60% boost in Others seems unlikely. 

Also, I wonder whether this boost is due to lingering holiday demand in Europe (people who couldn't buy one for Christmas buying it now or using hteir Christmas money to buy one) or if it is increasing because the post-holiday sales level is plateauing around 120k in Others (or possibly higher as some EU countries are still sold out). If the latter it would be very good news for the Wii as it would be higher than the respectable 80k it seemed to be at when not supply constrained last year.

The best way to solve this problem should be pretty obvious: Ban both leo-j and Soriku.

 Amen, also throw Dtewi in too for dogging out Leo-J :P



  Unleash The Beast!  

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

For the love of god, stop wasting mod's time.



What is this? Only users, that go against the website rules, should get banned, and not because they lose some stupid bet. These bets need to end. All they do, is make matters worse, and they solve no arguments. At least, keep the betting at the casinos, and not here. Sorry, but I don't write something about this, no one will. Try to correct me, if you think I'm wrong.

Well to be honest it only pass 20million by 0.3m so it might have be over tracked by that much at least. Now if he made a bet that the Wii wouldn't pass 20 worldwide by this week then that's just crazy.

I still CANT simply believe that Leo-j said that the Wii wouldn't pass 20 million this week.


That's what I can't understand, and what is the flaw in this bet.

 

Why would an argument about a random insubstantial week be formed into a bet, as if it proves some kind of trend.

 

It's a losing bet, to begin with. You just have to look at the numbers a few weeks ago and actually, last week would be the ideal week I woulda picked, much less this week.

 

I guess it's just betting for the sake of betting, because it's a sucker bet in the first place, you know your gonna lose, it doesn't prove anything even if you win, and....just why?

 

It's like if you can't win the war, lets start small skirmishes to spite the enemy.

^^ See his signature, leo-j.

The rest of America can surely contribute at least another 200k-400k in monthly sales and obviously NPD does not count that while VGchartz does. 



Leo-j are you trying to crawl your way out of this bet? Pathetic.

Long i stood there

Wondering

Fearing

Doubting. 

Hahahaha

That is all
