I think that WiiStation360 is right.

I can't remember what I voted in that poll. It was so long ago. It looks like the odds of me being wrong were pretty good though.



Switch Code: SW-7377-9189-3397 -- Nintendo Network ID: theRepublic -- Steam ID: theRepublic

PC - Deep Rock Galactic (2020)

I don't remember what my vote was so I won't be shamed I guess. The 360 expectations were just as bad :

How many units will the 360 have sold LTD by Jan. 1, 2009?

23 million 633 36.42%
 
24 million 390 22.44%
 
25 million 398 22.90%
 
26 million 167 9.61%
 
27 million 55 3.16%
 
28 million 95 5.47%
 

A whopping 81.76% of members undershot Xbox 360's end of year sales (I'm assuming it'll cross the 26m mark, which is a given)

 



Signature goes here!

Those people who did the maths based on Nintendo's shipment target knew that 44-45m was the minimum choice for end of year sales and even the highest option in the poll wasn't unrealistic.

Math is for chumps.

 

 That's me :P. Oh? Chump... Crap. That's not good... :(

Other than that, I predicted 45,000,000 units sold.

I predicted 21.5M for Ps3 though :(

(26.5M for X360, which is decent enough)

I didn't see that one, but I'm all for the 42.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Hunt Begins 4/20/2010 =D

could it even make 87.45% of us wrong? Could happen. Think i voted in the 44-45m range so i might just get away with it.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

*spits water over the keyboard*

2.4 MILLION a month!?!

Holy shit!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
