Forums - Sales Discussion - Ten Week Countdown 2008!

Twroo said Overall: BHR-3 once more takes the crown, and is unlikely to lose it looking at next weeks predictions

i don't think that is the case just by looking at the #s after the adjustments for the previous weeks veggie is already in the lead.  Also his Wii,360 prediction are better than mine for next week so he is ur 10 week countdown winner stop trying to make me feel good

That comment is much like this one twroo said

In the Wii ranks, I am pretty sure BHR will lose his lead to Oyv, and I might even pass him too because he could be a huge amount off for week 9 (I think Wii should fall between 1500 and 2000k for that week, so if it's at the high end he could gain as much as 50 points, which would let me catch up) Veggie I think should end 4th in the Wii table, as I think he has weeks 8 and 9 the wrong way around, although it could help him 1 week it would hinder for the other.
So for Wii I expect this:
1. Oyv
2. TWRoO
3. BHR
4. Veggie

I think that was after week 8 and no one will get close to the BHR

This saddens me as i thought i was going to win the whole thing it would of been a true under dog win as i had under 50  posts wen i joined i just had joined the site i was the last one to enter I don't think i'll be logging into the site for awhile as i'm heartbroken with this outcome also the 360 ps3 lead is at 8 mill and will likely be 9 by early Feb.  All this has caused me to step back for logging in sort of a way to punish myself.  I'm a true competitor and very hard on myself when loosing i'm a sore loser

I want to thank twroo for a good thread and all his charts i think he should be the creater of this next year if he plans on doing it again I also want to thank all of the other competitors

Here you go veggie you are the winner much respect

 

BHR-3 will be in another place with a lot of pain

@BHR-3.... I was speaking only about the "original VGC" numbers when talking about your victory. So any adjustments don't actually make a difference, only next weeks figures will... and I think next week you and Veggie will have similar scores, but he needs to beat you by 6 points to win (although in the case of a draw I may figure something out to see who was actually the best) which I don't think will happen.

When I made that post about the Wii I was still fully expecting it to surpass 2 million, and thought my predictions were actually in good form, as of now though it is pretty obvious I am not going to jump to 2nd position, and you have secured 1st place.
Week 10 is likely to see (IMO) between 700k and 900k Wiis sold, which means you will certainly remain in 1st, there could be a swap between Oyv and Veggie, but I think Oyv will keep 2nd, and if it is at the lower end of that range I could fall to 5th behind Zucas who is predicting 650k.

(Also if Wii goes really low, like below 650k, then Darth may in fact catch up to me, however I am highly doubtful of that because the Wii has Japan to hold it up, as it could be almost 200k in Japan for week 10, so would need to be really low in the West)



whats this?

It's a thread made for predictions about what the sales of Wii/PS3/360 were going to be over the last 10 weeks of 2008 (check the first page)

You are a little late to the party though, if you are still around next year I will probably be doing it again.... although given that your first post has you predicting the Wii will struggle to make 100 million (100 million being a 99% sure firefigure that the Wii will pass) you might not fare well.

 



Not to mention he seems a few crayons short of a full box.

Other are in.

Japan America Others Total
n/a n/a 511,393 511,393
n/a n/a 339,545 339,545
n/a n/a 185,309 185,309
n/a n/a 129,921 129,921
n/a n/a 114,467 114,467


If the drop in Americas reflects the drop here in Others, (and Japan should be up 10-20% on last week)

then we should see:

Wii = 850-950k (US supply can waver this massively)

360 = 400kish

PS3 = 270kish



Oooo Oooo, it looks good for me winning 360 over all, wait, without any adjustments.

Indeed it does

I am hoping for a huge fall in America.

Looking at the 2003 data for Xbox again does show a massive drop though:
http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=XB&reg1=Total+Other&cons2=XB&reg2=America&cons3=XB&reg3=All&start=37927&end=37990

It dropped t parity with the PAL sales..... although even if it does that it will still be over 350k.

 



Americas in!

and perhaps, just perhaps, I can pass Skeezer

Japan America Others Total

Japan in.... Wii falls for some reason

Japan America Others Total
252,931 79,361 511,393 843,685
131,751 269,900 339,545 741,196

19,157 137,528 185,309 341,994
68,935 77,460 114,467 260,862

Also depressing is the X360 managed to fall in a gap between numbers for me and Skeezer to draw.... which means that I will end 1 point behind Skeezer.

Hopefully I can claim it with the final adjusted numbers, but for the originals Skeezer wins the X360 predictions.
