I think he's referring to the next five weeks of charts, not last weeks charts, so 275K for the next five weeks for PS3 (325 is for xbox, sorry) in NA after last week's figure

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

  He probably just made a mistake and ignored last week and just took the next five weeks

He's increasing the 360 and Wii numbers while ignoring the PS3 has big games coming out too, come on.

Then his predictions are not valid and he should be making another one using the correct data.

What games does it have in the next 5 weeks in NA that will move consoles?

I'm sorry I should've said that, PS3 games don't move consoles anyway.  By October, a price drop will be needed again i think.

@Avinash: I'm not upset, I was just pointing out a flaw in his post and you came rushing to appologize for him, as if that needed an appology. I honestly can't understand you.
