I believe in Harvey Dent!

Was this a prediction? It was more of a ceiling for the 3DS sales I think!

Anyway it's clearly not going to make it! Still this was a really good year for the 3DS!

You defend Lucas too much. Lucas clearly predicted the 3DS would sell 50m by the end of 2013. Hell, he even said it could go above that. 

Plus, given the wording of the OP, I think he meant "MINIMUM" in his thread title, since maximum seems more like he'd be downplaying the sales.

another failed prediction. has he had even 1 correct prediction yet? ..not that i remember.


Im starting to think Lucas and Gilgamesh are the same person

They both make Unbelievable predictions for there Companies lol



Well, even giving the first week of January, the 3DS only made it to 42.44 million.  Not sure what the total was when you made this thread, but let's go with the week ending November 9th where it was at 36.98m.  So it needed ~13 million in that time period to hit 50 million, but only achieved 5.46m.  Just 42% of what you predicted.

Like I said back when you made this thread, Japan looked to be trending down YoY (which it did) and the west would need to beat the best week ever for the 3DS for every week of the year to even come close (which it didn't).

That's not even factoring in that VGC seems to potentially be overtracked by about a million LTD between the USA and UK.

I still don't know what you were thinking with this prediction.  Maybe you just wanted to shift attention away from your bad Wii U prediction.

lol I doubt that's it. Compared to his "Unity" prediction this thread seems pretty tame. Pretty sure it was an honest albeit crazy prediction.

People can't read.

The prediction has always been 50 million MAXIMUM.
Not MINIMUM.

Hahahahahaha!
There was no way for this prediction to fail.

It was funny to hear people try to lambast me & they didn't even understand the meaning of the topic.
I figured nobody would catch on.

You should probably stick to predicting upper limits to Nintendo sales for a while.  That way you have a chance of being right.

Boy you just can never admit you were wrong, is it some sort of disease that you have? Well whatever, you're not fooling anyone. Except for those diehard followers that give you completely undeserved praise because they can't think for themselves. Keep doing what you're doing Lucas, you give me plenty of laughs. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

PS4 will sell 10 million maximum by February 31st. Don't be surprised.  I feel dumber just by making prediction.

So you're pretending you didn't say

"That's what I saw.
I saw 50 million as a possibility for 3DS for the end of the year.

The funny thing is...what if it goes ABOVE that?"

or this in the Unity thread

"I believe 3DS is headed toward the 50 million mark by the end of the year."

Guess this is kind of like how you pretend you got your PS3 being discontinued prediction correct because of the slim.
