your two wii predictions contradict eachother. if a wii hd is shown, off, it will lower sells of the current wii.

it doesnt have be shown, it could be talked about, but i think nintendos main heavy sales months come with its game line up, not its winter sales

Mass effect 2 wont be announced for ps3 this year, it has to pass 1 year of exclusivity first then we will see it getting announced (e.g Ninja gaiden 2,TOV,eternal sonata,bioshock) expect it 2011 instead.

Ps3 wont pass 360 WW sales this year unless Sony drops ps3 $199+Gt5 bundled and Natal flops big time.

correct, they were NOT there. Like Soriku said. lol

1. Well although possible I don't think MS will go down that easily.  I expect some strong competition from them throughout 2010, although the losses of market share in Europe may be hard to gain back (outside of the UK of course).

2. I actually do think Nintendo will be planning to start showing something like this, but I do think it'll be another console, not just Wii HD.  Essentially N6 will start to be talked about in 2010 and potentially shown as early as 2011 with a 2012 release.

3. Absolutely unless MS really drops the ball on this haha.

4. Um well it is EA right now and they love to go multiplat, but I think Bioware is one of those devs with complete developer freedom.  So if Bioware wants to expand platforms, then it'll happen.  Personally I don't see this happening, but I wouldn't say it is unlikely either.

5. This would be quite a longshot, but I thought what Wii did all throughout 2009 was a longshot.  I however, do think Wii will sell another 20 million in 2010 which would definitely not be the norm, but tying or surpassing 2009 sales will depend how well NSMB Wii, WSR, and Wii Fit Plus continue to perform and push hardware in early 2010, allocation of exclusives and how big 3rd party ones do, whether or not DQX hits Wii this year in Japan, and of course marketing and bundling in the later part of the year.  Just like for #4 I don't see it happening but I wouldn't call it unlikely either.

6. Well Zelda reviews are generally pretty fickle (always someone to have a complaint about it.  Zelda fans (which most of the reviewers will be) are a very loyal and somewhat polarized base.  They all want Zelda but they are split on how they want it.  However, i doub this will affect the average of critical acclaim too much, just like it didn't with Twilight Princess.  Not to mention the game has been in thought/development since early 2006 and Nintendo never release a Zelda game til they are personally satisfied (they are hard to satisfy).  So I think this might happen as well.  Might even be the highest rated game of the year.  Of course I still have my doubts of it releasing this year.

7. Well that's a tough call.  Even if it never seems like it'll do it, there are the slow summer months which are hard to get by..  May through August is rough and you just never know what will happen.  I personally don't see this happening but once again I wouldn't say it is unlikely.  I think gaming in 2010 is set to be a huge year, and all other known trends might become useless because of it.

8. Well as long as there aren't any big screwups, this should happen.  Both are very well hyped and defintely have very positive feedback thus well.  They are poised to be some of the best rated games ever, but of course there have been things to setback stuff.  So flukes happen.  But this should, or I hope, it will happen haha.

9. Now that is a stretch.  First and foremost, if we are trackign this game properly.  Then second, if there is a European release.  And third if it stays "important" admist all the other big PS3 releases.

10. Well, I would hope so, but ya never know with Square and Final Fantasy.  But seems likely.

I say no to all 10 predictions. They will not happen.

a-HEM!
