Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Wasn't the #1 predictor on ResetEra different from this? Is this just better-guess estimates?

Well, assuming that's less than a couple of percentage points off from reality, that means that the weekly average for the PS4 is down slightly YoY (maybe 3-4%), while the XBO's is up a fair amount (maybe around 18-20%). I'll use that for my February predictions, though my guess for the Switch is going to have to be just that.

NSW: 400k
PS4: 375k
XBO: 360k

Those are the numbers i have using the 5 best predictions on ERA, is not only the best one.

 

Actually, i have pretty precise numbers with PS4 at 253-254K, and XB1 at 234-235K. The Switch is the only console with a fair big range, 255K to 285K, the ~270K is the estimate i choise but could be wrong +-15K.

I'm not going to predict numbers but the I think the order will be NSW>X1>PS4.

switch will continue it's insane momentum.

last month xb1 was on ps4's heels, and this month the discounts will push it up and over.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Maybe another close month where everyone will be happy. Well maybe not the console warriors, but the normals at least.
