Excellent. 5th for me. Next month is going to be a nightmare though so I don't think I'll be that close again.

 

[Eric WK]

I'll take 30th for my first set of predictions.

 

[sonycowboy]

Fucking great. He modified each of my predictions by 1000, and ended up with 1 more in the right direction than the wrong direction. :lol

If that's true, he's going to be penalized. -200k points for the year. 100k points for the month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I dont understand the point systems, but for my first time ever.. I am impressed... thats fun.. cant wait for the next one now

 

[Mrbob]

Wow close at the top, cvxfreak edges out a victory.

I forgot about this event and will have to wait till next month. :/

 

[RevoDS]

40th. Seems like I overestimated everyone but PS3 and 360.

Oh well, I'll remember that for next month

 

[GhaleonEB]

55. GhaleonEB - 131,700

Out of 231 participants, and with such a narrow spread, I'm happy.

 

[Odysseus]

I dont understand the point systems, but for my first time ever.. I am impressed... thats fun.. cant wait for the next one now

sum of absolute differences. -10k one way, +10k another, off by 20k overall.

 

[rage1973]

114. Pachter - 176,500
117. rage1973 - 177,700


I lost to Pachter
I suck at life.

 

[Cheesemeister]

The most interesting stat, IMHO:

114. Pachter - 176,500
115. Gahiggidy - 176,502

 

[Clever Pun]

The most interesting stat, IMHO:

114. Pachter - 176,500
115. Gahiggidy - 176,502

Gahiggidy's true identity is finally revealed.

[Linkup]

43. Linkup - 123,700

What was I last time? 225 or +1 drinky crow.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

190. Colonel Mustard - 259,500

Damn. I was #3 last month. :lol :lol

 

[tinderbox]

#16. And only b/c I revised my 360 numbers from 270 to 305. Damnit.

 

[AlteredBeast]

How come my results didn't come up in the 231 results page?



BTW, donny, what do those software results mean? Apparently I really suck...

I did much much better than the GAF Aggregate, after doing a quick count. Damn parser, always screwing the black man!

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Woooo! SEGATA SANSHIRO IN THE TOP 50! TAKE THAT PATCHES O' HOOLIHAN

 

[vanguardian1]

Would our cheezy lord explain what I did wrong to deserve that?

I was off by 174k total, not 1.25 million

(underscored the 360, forgot about the psp-lite release)

 

[Cheesemeister]

Would our cheezy lord explain what I did wrong to deserve that?

(underscored the 360, forgot about the psp-lite release)

I might as well give it a shot. *bang*

DS - 400k
Wii - 400k
360 - 225k
PSP - 225k
PS2 - 225k
PS3 - 150k
GBA - 75k

You didn't follow the parser format. Posts that don't conform aren't guaranteed to get picked up. It got your DS prediction of 400k.

 

[vanguardian1]

Ah, I never noticed the format before. My bad. >.< Can I edit, or should I just leave it as it is?

 

[Sviatoslav]

Sviatoslav - 115,500


Not bad for the first try.

 

[cashman]

48. cashman - 128,500

Not too bad for a junior

 

[speculawyer]

I know I'm late for the official game, but here are my guesstimates:

[WII] 400k ****All bow down to the almighty Wii
[NDS] 380k ****The real new gen victor
[360] 250k ****Bump from price drop, Bioshock, and Halo 3 soon to be.
[PS2] 190k *****Die already!
[PSP] 195k ****Too bad PSP software doesn't do nearly as well. :-(
[PS3] 130k **** Biting my tongue to prevent more bannage.
[GBA] 80k ****Down goes GBA, DOWN GOES GBA!
[NGC] 6K *****Probably more are being sold used these days.
[XBX] 3 ****Not even Steve Balmer cares.

I was too late but I did pretty darn good . . . totally nailed the Wii, NDS, and PS3. Bigger jump for the 360 than I thought for the small price drop.

Dammit! That guy beat me! By 2 POINTS. I'll need to try harder next time.

-- edit. How about for next round we play by "Price is Right" rules?

 

[Thunder Monkey]

I was number fifty!

I like that number.

 

[apujanata]

54. apujanata - 130,500

I was killed by my X360 estimate (too low by 56.7K), PSP (too high by 18.8K), and GBA (too high by 11.5K). The rest is pretty close.

Donny,
will I get the rank/order bonus ? I predicted the right rank/ order :
Wii > DS > X360 >PS2 > PSP > PS3 > GBA

 

[BboyDubC]

With the aggregate being a darn good predictor, think we can get it before NPD so that we have an idea of what the figures will be for the month? GAF is darn freakin good.

 

[Markster]

I went up 20 positions!

.... to #171...

PS2 and PSP killed me. 100K for those two alone.

 

[CassSept]

222... well, at least im not last.
Overestimated everything except for 360 :<

 

[Region-FreeWii]

22. Region-FreeWii - 101,700


Wow, Top 25 on my first try. It's gonna be tough repeat a performance like this.

 

[Corwood Rep]

Damn it, legend beat me.

Hey, legend, I hate you.

 

[TwinsDad]

136 This month. Look out World I'm coming to get you.

fuck

FUCK

 

[Fularu]

Fucking great. He modified each of my predictions by 1000, and ended up with 1 more in the right direction than the wrong direction. :lol

My prediction wasn't taken and I was only off by 45k in total systems sold damn work meeting making me 20 minutes late

 

[Sharp]

Madden Wii and Boogie bomba just like I foretold.

I believe the problem is with the - sign you put in front of the actual number, which mean that you are predicting minus sales for the system. I remember that Cheesemeister has warned people that posted minus numbers.

 

[AlteredBeast]

yeah, mine neither. My predictions were on the first page for goodness sakes!

EDIT - (read post above)

That's what my problem was!! It was my first time and an honest mistake.

[360] - 260k -10

[WII] - 360k -43
[PS3] - 125k -5
[PS2] - 205k +3

Guess I didn't do amazingly well...

 

[Cheesemeister]

Yeah, don't use dashes, people. It's not a hard format to follow, FFS.

 

[duk]

66. duk - 141,500 damn, must do better!

 

[AniHawk]

Well I beat Pachter. And that meddlesome GhaleonEB.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Yeah, don't use dashes, people. It's not a hard format to follow, FFS.

This was my first time and nobody had instructed me otherwise...wouldn't be a hard thing to include in the prediction thread OP, would it?

 

[davepoobond]

its probably a good thing i didn't try to guess at all since i woulda been really off the mark had i actually predicted

 

[DSWii60]

Damn man 147. That's about 80 places beneath my previous worst.
