this thread was from before my time : )... pretty sure I would be eating crow if I had been here back in Sept to put my foot in my mouth.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I predicted 1 million sales and thought Sega were smoking something when they predicted 4 million.

Good thing I wasn't a member at this time (lurking). The prediction I made would have been 3 million combined wii + ds (1 + 2)..........and now the wii version alone looks to double that when it's all said and done. Well, at least Sega can get out of their financial woes, and hopefully bring more Sonic to the wii (and ds).

For my crow, of course.

10 million lifetime doesn't look too unreasonable anymore. It should have legs well past the Olympics seeing how well it has sold so far pre-Olympics.

i'll probably be mid 4's when the olympics hit, get an upsurge for a bit, go back down to solid legs, then surge up again at xmas. could be around 6 million by the end of the year. wouldn't be surprised at all to see this game hit 8 million lifetime. which is absolutely ridiculous. it looks like it should have the legs to outdo mario party 8.



end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million,  360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million

 

Games I've beat recently: Super Mario Galaxy, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadow of the Collossus
