rocketpig said: Wasn't his original prediction 24 million that was later pared down to a minimum of 20 million? Somebody correct me on this if I'm wrong. The original prediction was quite some time ago. And using the excuse of shipped consoles over sold to make the prediction work is pretty damned weak. No one uses shipped numbers on this site. In any case, it's impressive that he predicted this so long ago but when everything settles down, his prediction was still wrong. |
his original was 20mil; he later said 20-24, but his original was just plain 20mil
and shipped was 140k over 20mil...nobody knows how much sold was, as those are just estimates...we do know that vgchartz undertracked americas by 300k and do u really wanna argue that there were 300k wiis in stores in Americas?
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)
