Xen on 07 September 2008

In contrary to my dumb prediciton in the sig which I'm not gonna change, I went for 42-43.

42-43 for me--I increased my prediction from my old 'Will Wii Hit 40 Million This Year?" thread based on feedback from others. Although my prediction is 'between 42 and 44'.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

dont worry i voted 42 million, but the options they gave for ps3 were dumb, 18 million?

I agree there should not have been an option for 17 million on the PS3 one, and anyone voting under 20 million would be incredibly pessimistic.

For X360 I think the options were just right, except there should not have been so many voting for the low options (I doubt it will finish under 25 million)

For Wii I feel again the lowest option should have been taken out in favour of a higher option.... I am positive the Wii will not sell more than 47 million, but there should be a higher option because there is no way Wii will end lower than 38 million.

 

This commentary is great...and spot on....but might I throw something else into the fray:

When you put an option so obviosuly wrong into a poll...it casts true light on the fanboy reaction to the poll.  It helps to distance the real votes from those of the wishfull thinkers and trolls.

 

True.

The voters for the Wii poll have been a lot more sensible than the other two... at least so far. Still voting a little on the low side overall but at least the majority votes are not on the lowest option like with X360.

And it certainly isn't as funny as the long running poll for best selling game of 2008.

I wonder if the person who just voted 37-38 million will reveal their identity in this thread. And is this a sign of votes to come?

 I suggest we make the results open to the public. Let everyone see how everyone else voted. Really nothing worse than the typical flame wars would arise from it.

Hmmm, I wonder if people will use new IP's to vote for the lowest amount. I guess that's what happened with the 360 predictions.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

42-43 million. Anyone thinking it will sell more than 45 or less than 40 is a complete and utter idiot.

Not really.  I can just clear private data in Firefox and vote as many times as I want to.

But since it's a poll that has no meaning, not many people would do that... But since you're talking aobut it...
