And weren't we right to doubt ioi? I respect him as an analyst but just about every prediction of his so far has been wrong. PS3 dropping below 20k in a few weeks. No big games aside Final Fantasy XIII compared to Wii's lineup, Wii beating PS3 every week after the price drop. All of those are inaccurate predictions. He may win this bet but he certainly wasn't right about everything, I doubt anyone in this thread is. I'm gonna go ahead and say once again that the two of you are wrong about FFXIII as well.

Are you also saying MC and Famitsu are wrong, because they are the ones who said it wouldn't sell 2 million in Japan lifetime

So uh, why is this guy banned? After two months of telling me that I'm a fool for saying FFXIII would debut near 1.5 million and Famitsu can't possibly be wrong about the FFXIII LTD being 1.5 million, he's banned the week FFXIII releases? This thread just got a lot less fun.

The guy was banned for trolling New Super Mario Bros Wii (first day sales) and also being alt for someone who was perma-banned.

Odd, I always thought he was a supporter of that game, and considering it's great sales I don't see why he'd bash the numbers. Oh well...

I think this is bad info.  He was banned for trolling but I doubt it was for saying anything negative about NSMBW.  He said something would "flop badly" apparently.  Also, pretty sure the alt for someone who was perma-banned part is wrong as that would result in perma-ban itself, I think.  I think Acevil is mixing up Avinash and ZorroX/Crazzy.

Anyway, Avinash's ban ends tomorrow so you should see him again soon.  Unless he choked on his crow.

Oh... I see it was a mistake after all.

Only 650k for PS3 until 5 mln. goal.
Next week probably 450-500k. We are getting closer.

How? On the front page, it is showing PS3 at 4.10 Million meaning it still needs 900K till 5 Million. At the same time, Wii is at 9.7 Million meaning it needs 930K. Now just last week the Wii out sold PS3 in Japan by 61,189. Since it will keep selling more than PS3 in Japan every week, it will regain the difference of 30K next week ending Dec.19 and get a difference of about 30K in its favour.

You're a little out of the loop today, I think.

It was in response to his questioning of NeoMatrix's 650k figure.  Doesn't have anything to do with where the Wii's going to be or the gap.

But But there's another spin to it. FFXIII has the lowest first week sales for a main FF XIII so expect that kind of statement although the PS3 did very very great and shattered the expectation of a lot posters here.
