Forums - Nintendo - IGN right on the money with their 2009 Nintendo Predictions?

I'll just give a quick summary of what they had predicted this year:

No Price Drop for Wii - Obvious..

Bootable SD Card Game this Spring 

Nintendo DSi in April

Nintendo DS/DSi Hybrid Software by Summer

Pikmin a Top Wii Announcement at E3

Red Steel 2 at E3 - Obvious..

Mature Franchise from Electronic Arts - They obviously knew about Dead Space so they cheated on this 'prediction'

Freakishly accurate or really safe guessing coupled with some prior knowledge?

 



 

Around the Network

Most likely educated guesses. So far they have been fairly accurate it seems.



 

 

well it does show they have a far bit of knowledge/ insight into the industry. I wouldnt reallly call it freakish, but it is better then almost all other anaylsts would be able to predict.



 

 

 

 

 

Check out my pyro tf2 vid :)

 

Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)

 

welll they do miss a big one... Kid Icuras game is still nowhere to be found ;)



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I have no doubt that Factor 5 were working on Kid Icarus at one stage.. It just may be that it was cancelled.. They're working on something for Wii though so who knows.. I wouldn't be suprised if it did show up but I wouldn't be suprised if it didn't either..



 

Around the Network

They're still calling for some big mature 3rd party game, but that might be Shattered Memories. Not sure.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

They most likely looked into the a orb to get all those anwers right.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Biggest pikmin fan on VGchartz I won from a voting poll
I am not a nerd. I am enthusiast.  EN-THU-SI-AST!
Do Not Click here or else I will call on the eye of shining justice on you. 

Maybe EA sports could make a new football game and call it Handegg 2010.
