Forums - Sales - More Superchunk Predictions, Get 'em while their hot!!

Final-Fan on 24 August 2007

Also:

"Game Boy Color games came in a clear plastic cartridge with a raised bump. Nintendo also made black cartridges that were compatible with the Game Boy Color, the older Super Game Boy and the original Game Boy. The black color distinguished these special cartridges from the grey Game Boy carts and the transparent Game Boy Color carts. The black cartridges had notches in the corner like old Game Boy cartridges, allowing an original Game Boy to be turned on when they were inserted, while the Game Boy Color cartridges did not. Special Game Boy Color palettes were built into the black carts, making it impossible to change their palette."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Color

So, the GBC vs. GB/GBP situation is rather unique. Some GBC games could be played on the original system, while others apparently could not. (I would be surprised if the only thing stopping them was the different plastic.)

I would say that, since the GBC games are at least partially compatible with the original GB (and also peripherals such as Super GB), Parokki and superchunk should get this one. However I agree that it is highly debatable either way.

                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Gameboy Color game paks can be played on the original gameboy.

GBC wasn't really color. GB uses white(read green) and then three shades of grey, Most GBC games displayed 4 colors GBC's, but GBC games will work on GB at 3B1W.

EDIT: I may be wrong, but I think Wiki is.  I can't think of any GBC games that won't work on my original GB.

EDIT2: Great Predictions SC.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

superchunk on 24 August 2007

Ummm. In every site I can find GBC is included in GB sales, either way I repeat myself

"what [THE FUCK] does it matter for the purposes of this thread if PS2 is 2nd or 1st. I clearly stated Wii won't catch the top 3 anyways."

@steven787 = thanx, G.

@Lost tears of Kain == The Wii motions for the bartender so he can begin to party like its 1985. The 360 stops, grabs his flashing chest and dies instantly of a heart attack. The PS3, well he didn't actually make it into the bar. Wii and 360 didn't notice but a group of thugs beat PS3 over the head and stole him.

super mario bros deluxe is a GBC game that won't work on the original. Pokemon Gold and Silver did work on the original gameboy though.

omg. who cares.

The differences between the GBA and GBASP were probably greater than GB and GBC. Get over it. PS2 is not the cream of the crop, yet. Maybe when it finally stops selling sometime in 2010 or whatever, but not now.



steven787 on 24 August 2007

So the 360 Core shouldn't count, because you can't play FFXI... :P

GB and GBC are still the same system. Rockstar, you're right, SMBDX could not. I was wrong.

Actually, no.  The GBASP is the exact same machine as the GBA but in different packaging and with a backlight.  The GBC had twice the processing power, four times the memory, color (obviously), et cetera.  I realize that you don't care about our little debate, but don't say things that are flat out wrong. 

I still love your predictions.

Game Over! on 27 October 2007

So dtewi says to me "You need some new predictions superchunk". So here they are, full of Superchunkyness. All in all, after looking at past sales I noticed that a console's sales usually remains constant for the first 4 years. By that I don't mean exactly, but on average. So, I don't see a whole lot of change in 2008 compared to 2007. Basically what I did was get a full list of all consoles/handhelds from NES era on and their WW sales from wikipedia and vgchartz. (Before you tell me I'm missing someone, find the WW sales on them) Here they are in order (Millions)>in retail in 2008<: Gameboy:.................118.69 >PS2:..........................108.43< PS1:..........................102.49 >GamboyAdvance:........80.02< NES:............................61.79 SNES:..........................49.00 >NDS:............................48.83< N64:............................32.93 Genesis:......................29.00 Xbox:...........................23.66 >PSP:.............................22.84< GameCube:..................21.47 Dreamcast:...................10.60 >Wii:...............................10.57< >Xbox360:......................10.51 Saturn:.........................10.00 TurboGrafix-16:............10.00 Gamegear:.....................8.56 >PS3:..............................4.32< 3DO:...............................2.00 Jaguar:...........................2.00 NeoGeo:.........................1.00 Sega Nomad:..................0.94 As you can see the Wii is marching on up the ladder will definitely pass one more console (Dreamcast) before the month is over. Now for some fun. My predictions in my sig have stated that I see 17m Wii's sold by Jan 1 2008. That means the only other console it will pass this year is the Dreamcast. I have extended out my spreadsheet to Jan 1 2009 and I will list each one below and expand on my prediction with consoles that are still in retail. Wii will pass the Gamecube in WW sales in March 2008 Wii will pass the Xbox in WW sales in May 2008 Wii will pass the Genesis in WW sales in October 2008 Wii will pass the N64 in WW sales in December 2008 The only other system I see within Wii's grasp in 2008 is the PSP. For that I had to look more in depth to the PSP's current sales. They seem to be averaging 600k per month and peaking in December at around 1.2m. If I throw this into my infamous spreadsheet I see that Wii should pass the PSP in December of 2008 as well. Wii will pass the PSP in WW sales in December 2008 Oh, ironically, Wii will pass the 360 in NA sales in August 2008. I will hold off on putting out numbers for mid-2008 or Jan 1 2009 WW sales until January. To jump way out, I think the Wii will max out around 85m. Well what do you all think? I will put these in my sig as well.

 Maybe this doesn't make a big diffence, but the Xbox has sold at least 24 760 000 by March 2007 (see Worldwide Hardware Shipments HERE). Now, in the end of 2007, it's probably 24,8 millions.
