Time to check the first results of the 2008-prediction-thread:

Mnementh said:
prediction #1: In combined worldwide sales, the Wii will every single week outsell it's competition (this will be clearly true, this year only with european PS3 launch and Halo3 the competition could outsell the Wii worldwide).

True so far as I remember the single weeks, but in some weeks it was very close.

Mnementh said:
prediction #2: The Wii will catch the sales of the XBOX360 in America in April.

That's highly unlikely now. The Wii is more than a million behind, it will not happen in April.

Mnementh said:
prediction #4: After Q1 2008 XBOX360 will have 33 million seller games,Wii will have 20 and PS3 will have 8.

Wrong three times. All three consoles had two more million sellers, than I predicted: XBOX360 has 35, Wii has 22 and the PS3 has 10.

prediction #3: GTA4 sells the double amount of copies on XBOX360 than on the PS3.

GTA isn't released yet, nothing known about the outcome of this prediction.

I guess your prediction 3 will be not true because of Europe.

I found it funny how many people have the PS3 selling less than 20m.
I think all those people will be wrong

Maybe. I predicted PS3 at 18M at the year's end. But remember, PS3 had it's momentum increased after I started this predicton-thread. Only few people saw this change coming. So I may be wrong now. But that's the fun at predicting things: you can be wrong.

I had 10 predictions, most are due at the years end. The only prediction that is decided now, is prediction #4, about the million sellers after Q1. I was to low on all three consoles with two titles. So the result is 0/1 so far. And I did not predict 500 million Wii lifetime, but you predicted, that PS4 will be released 2015. We will see.

yeah, maybe because I wasn't even a member at the time. :P

In what world would I predict 500 million Wiis??? Who do you think it was?

kingofwale profile: Created: 8th Dec 07 Thread started: (12/21/07, 10:57) You're profile already was created. And you didn't predicted 500m Wii. But you said I should be happy, that I didn't do it. But I'm also happy, that I wasn't the one, saying that PS3 has a lifetime of 8 years WITHOUT a successor.
