They are predictions, so they can never be accurate. Dont take it so hard. At one point I was certain that the WiiU will do at least 50 million and the Vita 40. SO yeah...

Looking back though, mine were biased just to be biased. I wasn't ever thinking logically...

I said Wii U would dominate and PS4 would fail. I also said 3DS would do better than DS at one point. I was a blind fanboy. I'm serious too. I made all those predictions seemingly without thinking of anything other than "Go Nintendo!"


Welcome back to reality then...

You have a great courage to admit this... and only for this, you merits forgiveness.

No thanks.

First, because I don't want you banned :)

Secondly, the loser could just make an alt account. I've had 5 accounts all together. (Only one at a point in time though)

I doubt that the Wii U will sell below the GC. Its still have the potential to sell at least 40 to 50 million units.

On topic: I hope you learned your lesson and don't turn into a blind Sony fanboy.

I'm older now too. I don't think I will.

If I do, I give you permission to call me out on it. (You would anyway...)

BasilZero contacted me personally to say he'd like to take this bet.

It's not out of the question yet. GCN spent it's entire life under £130 in the UK (most of it under £100). Wii U is still £240. They just need to really get costs of those pads down somehow.

That would be its only chance. That was my whole thing as well but now I don't think Wii U will ever drop below $150. The GamePad is holding it back. At least the GC could be priced competitively.

It will sell more than GC, though i do think this Gen will sell less than the last. So they will end more with more market share than the GC.

Against N64 i don't know, it depends of how long Nintendo waits before launching the next. I do believe it could be at least two years before PS5/XBTWO (whenever that is), but wouldn't bet on that.
