I remember last year - I think in October - I predicted

Wii - 72 million
360 - 35 million
PS3 - 32 million

I still expect that I lowballed each of these.

Khuutra

Khuutra this is what you get for making predictions before the holiday season before the one you're betting on

The PS3 could come close to that. The 360 could exceed (EDIT: come reasonably close to) that (I just realised there are 7 weeks left in the year). The Wii...well, it wasn't as bad as some people.

I overshot on Wii and PS3, it looks like.... though 360 could still pull through.

Okay Wii, I need you to sell 16 million units in the next six weeks.

And..... go

How is the 360 gonna pull through ?

Only 7 weeks left in the year and it needs about 5.62 mil to achieve that when in the same time period last year it did 4.38 mil and from the looks of it the 360 will be down YoY or goes flat at the very best.



Actually, my hardware predictions for this year aren't half bad compared to last year. The 360 is a little lowballed (it'll be close though) and the PS3 will be decently guessed but the Wii is way overshot though and my prediction was extremely modest for this year compared to most others... I remember almost everyone not predicting 75 million or more nearly getting mocked back in january.

Both the PSP and the DS are overshot as well, I guess the handhelds haven't "held up to" my expectations!

hey guys here's my predictions:

1. PS3 Slim will be announced

2. PS3 Will sell over 600K when slim launches

3. PS3 will outsell 360 by over 1.5 million in 2009

4. Uncharted 2 will be the highest rated game of the year

5. FF13 will release in Japan, sometime in Nov - Dec

6. PS3 may win Japan this year

Were these predictions you made before? Not bad.

1) Good

2) Fail

3) Pending

4) Pending, but probably Good.

5) Good

6) Pending

If you made them now, you're a cheater, and also an idiot (#2 )


For 2, check the numbers, slim launch week was adjusted up. Not quite 600k but it's so close it's within margin of error. I'd say semi-success.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Actually this is past the point last year where I made the quoted 2009 predictions.

This thread was made on 20th December.

We should wait until all of the predictions for 2009 are set as either SUCCESS, FAIL or N/A before we make Predictions for 2010.

Thanks. Not many people post here, they're afraid to confront themselves from 11 months ago, and see how stupid their predictions were
