congrats to koffieboon he will win the whole thing overall Well it's still a little difficult to tell, but IMO he has been the most consistant so far.

i dont even know of this guy thought he was a noob on this site then looked up his profile and hes a old timer

i myself will sux might not even finish in top5 overall it really shows if ur not really into it, it will show in ur performance as i had not planned to play this year then came up with some #s last minute I think your PS3 +PSP numbers are looking tidy for the rest of the year... although one thing goes against what you just said... you said earlier you put more effort into the console than handhelds, yet you are still leading handhelds.

i tried to take a risk though with the wii and ds there probably going to slide me back alot in the next coming weeks i dont know wat happen they looked liked the would sell way lower than last year for awhile there around sept-early nov. then bam the wii and ds started puttin up #s very close to last year if not better

also congrats to darkjonnyx another guy i thought was i noob a low post count poster with a potential top3 spot never saw him in the forums and he sign up in 07 where are all these guys coming from?

09tarheel will do good except for his peak week miss up but who knows maybe they will go that way but a good 1st showing for yet another low post count poster

DMJ has something to be happy bout at least he wont finish last

wonder if you count just consoles if any 1 will be able to get lower than 663 which was my score for the 3 last year Well that was with the old method of scoring (see earlier in this thread about the change) although you are using the VGC originals from last year... you actually scored 699:
http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=5646
However, it should be pretty easy as we all did terribly last year (PS3 being the major source)
, already at week 6 after all, and nearly all of us are still under 300pts for consoles, and 11 of us under 200pts... You were at 370 points after 6 weeks last year (using old scoreing method... i'll have a look and try the new method to compare them better)

any way i can see ioi making massive adj. come around jan-june next year so every1 spots may not be the same that they are now

im going to go training to get ready for next years countdown right now get a early jump on it might get a new trainer ill have to talk to crazzyman see if he can coach me my very disappointed with my results this year lol

WOW!!!
I was first on PSP and fourth on Wii



@BHR-3
You must have been too busy with posting fake numbers and not telling us about the wrong week for MW2.

Anyway there's still 6 people who can win imo. (or is TWROO going to use highest week and the totals as well?)

no offense BHR-3

but you had plenty of time to work hard, research & get ready for the numbers

This time maybe its not your day

Besides you said you put more effort into consoles, yet you do better in hand helds



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

no i didnt put effort in none of them i copied vigges handhelds missed with them a tiny bit same with the consoles i took about 3 of the others contestants #s and added some of my thoughts like wii ds being alot lower added the 1mill for ps3 peak week and that about it

should of used 09tarheals and koffieboon though

as for plenty of time i wasnt even using the site at the time also had no intentions of playing again some asked me to do it again and i liked zucas's post and dmj also joined, thats y i had to post the fake numbers as non gravity called them so i could just make the deadline

last year i took me a bout a week of coming up with my own #s and bout 2-3hrs to write em all down

I'm talking about different numbers. The way I read one of your posts was that you deliberately put up fake numbers to try and make people copy them.
As for taking numbers from other people and then adjusting them to your thoughts: that makes them pretty much your own predictions.

We're still waiting for you to win a week. You're the only one in the top 5 who hasn't so far.

Well, being high overall is no guaranty to win a week, it is more about consistency there. And I got pretty close twice already, so maybe I've had my chances but missed them. But I'm not giving up yet and being third this week at least means my starting point for next week’s numbers should be better than most people participating. And I had my moment of glory on a different prediction this week already, so I'm pretty happy anyway  Btw, the biggest difference between our predictions for the coming week is 40k for Xbox 360, so most likely we'll end up pretty close.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I really think it is too early to call anything. Besides, I'm not even ranked first at the moment.

Been around here for quite some time already. I just don't post that often, so it isn't that surprising you don't know me.

He has stated he will also look at total numbers, but people will usually see smaller differences there (at least compared to their weekly numbers)



i see u or non gravity winning the whole thing i dont think no1 else has a real chance for no1 spot

u 2 made up alot of ground and came out of nowhere it was just me tarheal and tw for the 1st half up there u guys 2nd half #s look as good as any1s so no1 can really make up ground on u now

wat happened to the scoring method? to lazy to try and find it in the 10 pages it looks the same as last year so far is he doing something diff for the end

I think last year Twroo just took difference compared to actual numbers, which favours underpredicting (you can't be off by more than 100% when underpredicting that way).

Now he takes the difference compared to both actual and predicted numbers and averages these 2 numbers.

So basically if you predict 80 and the real number is 100 in the old situation you would be off by 20/100*100=20 points. In the current situation it is 20/80*100=25 point + 20/100*100=20 points. Combining those numbers and deviding by 2 gives 22,5 points in the new situation.



I entered the numbers from the weekly analysis (though we use the numbers on the frontpage) to TWROO's sheat and this is what I got for week 7:

56 - non-gravity
57 - koffieboon
59 - 09tarheel
65 - darkjonnyx
66 - Darthdevidem

Wii is pretty unexpectedly high for this week for everyone's predictions.

Koffieboon's and my predictions were pretty much the same. With only 11 points differing.

Also I predict 09tarheel will win next week significantly.
