Looks Like i'm doing good so far

^Well I have to admit, your full set of predictions looks rather odd to me, I was one to downplay the importance of Black Friday week to Shams last year, but it is still a massive week even if the effect is on the US market only, yet you don't really seem to have anysignificant jumps going into that week.

So I suck

WEll lets see what happens, I'm still confident in my numbers, I just noticed I have the lowest numbers for all 3 consoles that week.

Well I guess the tolerance ideas isn't going to work in my favor haha.

It may yet do Zucas, you might turn out to be the most consistant across the weeks and win overall.
With my scoring method and the rather unpredictable weekly sales it's possible to get loads of points (bad accuracy) one week but be right on the money the next week.

It seems actually, that the first week has been generally underpredicted by the 8 of us for the Wii, but over predicted generally for PS360.
BHR was the only one who guessed low for the X360, and he and myself the only ones low for PS3, but for Wii only Veggie overshot, and then only by a tiny amount.

@skeezer... Not neccesarily in terms of single weeks sales, but in terms of the weekly trend for the 4-5 weeks surrounding Black Friday week I think your increases are too linear.... your first few, and last few weeks however look good to me (but then I can easily be wrong too )

For next week I think I will almost definately have the advantage for PS3 sales, because they are only 190k now, and Japan will more than likely decrease for week 2 to offset some of the increase in PAL/America.... and I have the lowest guess for PS3 at 220k.

My Wii and 360 are more gambles though, If Gears of War doesn't really have much of an effect then you (skeezer) and Veggie should be easily the closest, but it needs to have quite a big impact to get up to the next biggest prediction (300k shared by 3 of us) wheras if it is in the middle, then all of us will be quite a bit off. Wii meanwhile I put a decrease from week 1 to week 2 because I thought the supply might be on and off again, and i figured Nintendo would fit it so that Guitar Hero in week 1, and CoD in week 3 might get more supply than very little in week 2.... however it may just go up incrementally like it has been, and thus giving that week to BHR-3. (He, Zucas and DMJ were the 3 to predict an increase from 1 to 2, but Zucas and DMJ are low anyway)

Well I didn't do my averages to really fit on weekly basis.  I did it such that all 10 will add up to the most correct total.  But we'll see.

^I did the same, except the adjustments made to Wii in particular have messed that up, so now I am hoping Nintendo manages to pull off some decent supply.

Onto the predictions.... all figures are in thousands of console units

I think Ninty will have quite ample supply. I actually did some research and investigation into some trends earlier today to just see what Wii could accomplish both hardware and software wise when comparing it to last year's numbers. And ya know it was very simply done but I came around to some pretty large numbers so as long as they have the supply(2.4 million a month along with reserves should be enough) this will be huge. Like it wouldn't surprise me to see this from NPD:

Oct 2008- 1.00
Nov 2008- 1.75 million
Dec 2008- 3.00 million

And that's just for America. Add another 1.5 million from Japan and 5.25 million from Europe and in the last 3 months you got epic numbers. Of course we are only talking about last 10 weeks but that would be about 11 million for the last 10 weeks worldwide which is surely stunning.

And I won't even get into software which I must say will be unlike anything else for Wii this year. I can only imagine what it'd be like if it had a sleuth of games like PS360 has for this holidays but games like Wii Fit and MK Wii will probably outsell anything they release during it.

pretty good way 4 ranking us TWRoO man was i close 4 the wii i don't think 360 will get much of a boost next week cause GOW2 comes out like one day b4 the week ends i'm quessing like 225k

i did my avereges 2 fit a weekly basis and just adjusted a little if they weren't close 2 a decent total looking back i wish i would a gave more 2 all 3 consoles for week of dec 27 and jan 3 i think that will b my downfall

I'm LAST? Aww crud.

Well, it's not me being bad, it's you guys being good. Take that as a compliment. Actually I was awesome (JK).

At least it can only go upwards from here :D

Well, of course it could go sideways, or downwards as I lose by more...

Overall, I liked my way of ranking better :P
