The_God_of_War on 23 August 2009

Well done, I guess. You must be feeling better than the people who said HD-DVD will win and the PS3 couldn't possibly get a $100 price cut this year. Whoever said those things must feel a little foolish.

you thought that would be cool? boring holiday?


Actually we would have wished it to last much longer. We went to Faliraki on the Greek Island Rhodos. A great little village to go out and get drunk at the many clubs and discos. Very nice beaches as well (and sea/wind for windsurfing), especially Anthony bay is very beautiful. We also went to Faliraki's waterpark, Europe's biggest with many awesome slides, went to Rhodos city (old town was awesome) went to Europe's biggest Foam Party and visited some beach parties:

Thanks for caring.

PS3 vs 360 sales

Avinash_Tyagi on 23 August 2009

Still got a while to go before Mike can toot his horn, the Wii has yet to die down, in fact 360 and PS3 are the ones dying, PS3 is well below 100K a week, While Wii is well over 200K, Wii is just reduced, but still very strong, and we have yet to see if Slim will actually be able to save the PS3, more than likely it'll be a bump but not enough to change the nature of the game, Sorry mike



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!!

The Velour Fog on 23 August 2009

Well done on the predictions, even if rabid 360 fanboys try and ridicule you.

Keep them coming.



Let me show you why they call me the velour fog. Hit it.

I met her in a club down in old Soho,

Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola,

C-o-l-a, cola.

She, walked up to me and she asked me to dance,

I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said;

Leela, L-e-e-l-a, Leela, Lee, Lee, Lee, Leela

Leeeeeeeelaaaaaaaa

Mega Faliraki Foam Party (at times there was a wall of foam covering me completely!):

IMO no real gloating. My predictions are just for fun, but I just hope with posts like these people become more tolerant towards people stating different opinions than their own.

No need to insult Sony/PS enthusiasts/supporters and mind you, personally I even (slightly) prefer Philips over Sony and never even owned a PS2.

PS3 vs 360 sales

NJ5 on 23 August 2009

So 2007 + 2008, about 20 million, I anticipate a slimline PS3 to launch somewhere in 2009. By the end of 2012 about 80 million sales. I do expect the PS3 to stay commercially available for much longer though, so by the end of 2016 about 140 million (triple the amount of 360s I anticipate for the long run).

Why didn't you quote your whole post?
