Forums - Sales Discussion - So I lost my bet with Naznatips

What bet is that you ask? I bet him that Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles would hit a million sales before February.

When the hell did I make that bet, Naznatips asks? Well you didn't. You said that while you were fairly confident that it wouldn't, you weren't going to take the bet as it wasn't a sure thing.

 

But still, I thought that it would and it only has a paltry 870,000. :)

 

Oh well, at least I was closer on this one than I was in anything so far in the prediction league! 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I'm glad you faced like a man, sorry for the bet...

At least you admitted defeat :)

And you were closer in % of how much Wii would sell.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

The game has still performed well enough to please Capcom. I wonder what numbers they actually expected.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Oh I know it has had some pretty good sales. I'm actually fairly proud of my prediction considering how close I was (only 130k off with the game still selling over 25K a week), but wrong is wrong, no matter how close it is.

So what should my bet penalty be on this unofficial bet?

Wouldn't it be cool to bet those vgchartz money and pay eachother out when the bet is over? To allow transferring vg$ to eachtother. Just a suggestion.



 umm.... you could ban Naz before he can do anything to you




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

 Yeah, that is a pretty good idea.  Mods?
