Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii 1,000,000: Hmm, somebody's been reading my predictions

TWRoO on 09 December 2011

*jumps on the thread bump bandwagon*

I think I am going to update the predictions I made in the post further up the thread. (figures in millions, global numbers are rounded to nearest 5 million, region numbers are then calculated from the globals. Unfortunately the regions won't match with my previous prediction (japan no longer it's own and such) but tough..... So late in the generation I found it difficult to come up with expected ranges that don't contradict with each other, so left it at global sales)

Wii Minimum Expected range Maximum
World 100 110-115 125
PS3
 Minimum Expected range Maximum
World 75
 80-85
 95
X360
 Minimum Expected range Maximum
World 75
 80-85 95

----

DS Minimum Expected range Maximum
World 155 160-165 170
PSP Minimum Expected range Maximum
World 80
 80-85 90

That is the potential maximum number. The exact minimum is 240,000,000. That is guaranteed so long as the end of the world doesn't come before it.

Not thw worse prediction ever, but pretty close.

I still stand by my old prediction that wii will finish under 40% share (which got laughed at at the time)



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013
