120k isnt even that much...

 

Before that prediction it wasn't rare for the PS3 to go below 120k.

It was a pretty bold statement at the time and help up well.

Congrats leo-j

Yes but consider that there is 52 nuts in the very tiny forest with hundreds of squirrels, Leo-J just found 51 of those 52 nuts... the rest can fight it out for the last one.

Many a good squirrel died from hunger and brutal mauling that horrid horrid winter *shudder*.




When/where exactly was the prediction made? (link)

Hey! That was my point!

 

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

Damn you! That was my point too!

So he failed on a blanket prediction, and we are supposed to congratulate him. That hurts my head. Not that I didn't think the prediction he made was a bad prediction. At the time it was a fairly safe prediction. Had he made a very unlikely prediction, and it had came to pass. Then I would congratulate him even if it narrowly missed.

Here is a real ballsy prediction. I predict the PS3 to perform worse next year then this year. Yes I actually expect the console to sell less. Who knows maybe next year someone will congratulate me.



okay nice prediction. Okay yeah you were a week or so off, so what? its still probably the best/closest 2008 prediction the site had.

What about all the people saying like 60 million+ end of 2008 for wii, they were way off.

Congrats? He said the ps3 would do 20-22 mill and 360 would 22-24 million. He wasn't even close. He just had one good guess;anyone can make a good guess.



After many illogical predictions it's good to know that he got it right at least in 1, gratz leo
