Are you suggesting that the user "Ioisuxballs" isn't correct when he predicts 2.5 billion Wii sales? Frankly, I'm shocked and insulted.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 I haven't tried it,Ben, but I'll bet you money it's the maximum amount allowed in the Entry form.

It comes from (2^31) - 1. The maximum number allowed to be stored in an 32-bit signed integer.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Wellll....  

Wii production need to be increase to about 35mill pr. month, from current 1mill... So no it is not possible..

No Mods can or will do anything about this?



DonWii on 21 June 2007

I think the most they can/should do is ban them from the Predictions League, and remove their entries. Not sure if it is possible, however.

If it upsets the average, surely you could just make a prediction that was the opposite of it, so 0, or give the same values for the other consoles

eheh not quite... the average of 0 and 2.5 billion equals 1.25 billion.

It still throws everything out of whack
