My first thought is that I should commit seppuku.
My second thought is that I should try to prepare a better prediction.

Second thought win, so I will try to do better in December.

Cheesemeister,

How many person got the ordinal position right ? Or should I ask Donny2112 about this ?
 
#36, not bad.

102. And once again, I failed to do so. I still haven't gotten the order correct once this year. This is really bugging me, now. :(

Nice, when i saw i was off by over 300,000 i didn't think i'd make the top third of the league, let alone the top 3! Dang Ds and Ps2 is what threw me off, without those two i would have 'only' been 120,000 off.

PlayStation 3 466K
PSP 567K
Xbox 360 770K
Wii 981K
Nintendo DS 1.53 million

I was basically spot on with the Wii and very close with the PSP, DS and 360. Underestimating the other Playstation consoles killed me. Who knew the PS2 would still be so popular?
 
I continue playing the role of X360; doing competently but losing ground fast.

I'm sure next month our predictions will have variance of many hundreds of thousands on DS, Wii, and X360.
 
I guess not too bad on my first time out:

70. PrivateWHudson - 527,000

ME NPD
[NDS] 1,375,000 | 1,530,000 | 155,000
[WII] 1,150,000 | 981,000 | 169,000
[360] 890,000 | 770,000 | 120,000
[PSP] 600,000 | 567,000 | 33,000
[PS2] 460,000 | 496,000 | 36,000
[PS3] 480,000 | 466,000 | 14,000

Nice. Number 7 this month and 29th for the three month list.

I wonder if I can keep it up. Someday I hope to be like JoshuaJSlone argon, and GhaleonEB.

How many person got the ordinal position right ?

102. And once again, I failed to do so. I still haven't gotten the order correct once this year. This is really bugging me, now. :(

Just for fun,
you know, fun like stabbing yourself in the eye
, I decided to take a look at the annual rankings if the ordinal position stuff wasn't counted.
I'd be third, behind JoshuaJSlone and argon, but within 8 points of #1.
:lol

Poor donny. Your idea of fun is depressing. You need more Fire Emblem.

I think this month was easier compared to last month. Next month will be hard to guess because of shortages..

Yay - this month was kind of cheating though, since we already had data points from Microsoft and Nintendo. I agree that next month will be a lot harder.

Like many other DS numbers killed me.
December should be interesting especially the Wii numbers. I would be interested if Nintendo can raise supply from November to December but I highly doubt it. I figure Nintendo will be able to get out 1.2 million Wiis at the most allowing rest of the other home consoles to catch up and surpass it this month.

I'm surprised to still be in the list for the whole year, having not made a prediction last month. I thought I'd sit last month's out. I'll probably be in the December one though.
