I predicted that Mario Kart Wii would outsell bottled water. I admit that I was terribly wrong.

Well I can buy bottled water, but Mario Kart Wii is sold out everywhere. 'm glad I bought it at launch, cause every shop here has a waiting list of about a month.

I think it's very likely the PS3 will sell over 100 million during its lifecycle. IMO at least wait for the slimline PS3 before ridiculing other people with regard such perspectives.

Worst predictions IMO:

Nintendo will fail with the Wii.
Halo 3 will crush the PS3.
The PS2 will die quickly.
