Forums - Sales Discussion - John Lucas was WRONG

johnlucas on 23 September 2007

*GASP*

Did he just say...*gulp*...what I thought he said?

Yes, my VGChartz friends, roamers and countrymen (& women). I was WRONG.

 

WHERE was I was wrong? My prediction that Wii would beat XBox 360 in the American continents (North and South) in sales within the summer (just ended officially September 22) was WRONG.

It did not come close to be being true and is not even disputable like my prediction that Wii beat XBox 360 worldwide within July.

Don't think I'm afraid to take my lumps when I make an error. I stand by my words until those words fall down at the hands of the truth. I must respect the truth.

That prediction already had a Wrong within it when the extra "Within July" stipulation didn't pan out. But now the prediction is totally completely and indisuptably WRONG. I'm only human after all.

 

Yes, that right. You've heard it here first.

John Lucas was WRONG.

Take out your paddles and give me a spank.

(It might be the last time you get the opportunity)

lol i did think you went a little to far with that prediction john

but its great to hear you know you were wrong, and your right its not often (wink)

but i will have to give you another paddle for that 200 million wiis? O.O



                 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   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

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.

Heh heh, you're making a lot of scandal for this. It's ok, you can be wrong, anybody can be wrong. But I don't know if it deserved a thread or such a long post...n_n"
