Predictions are now closed.

Reopened until Wednesday @ 4PM EST due to the NPD hullabaloo and many people not bothering to predict.

Next month, it will resume it's schedule of closing the Friday before results are released.

Ganondorf>Link and Sir Fragula,

You both are predicting for Wii Play instead of Metroid Prime 3. Wii Play predictions will not be counted to the final point total, so you might want to change those to a Metroid Prime 3 prediction.

Can't believe I missed this thread.

Predictions are now closed again.

I only had to add two to my previous tallying.

GAF Average

360 Ace Combat 6 - 135,000

Halo 3 drops by 80%. Guitar Hero III sells over 1.2 million copies. This'll be fun.

 

[CitizenCope]

PS2 Guitar Hero III will rule all.
Didn't Sony just sell their billionth burger(PS2)?

Based on the last two months, it looks like ~80% correct is about what to expect from the winner. That's not too bad.

 

[The M.O.B]

Secured my spot towards the bottom.

 

[Beer Monkey]

w00t!

Thanks Donny, for doing the work so that we can have a fun contest.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Actuals:
[360 Guitar Hero III] = 490.9K
[360 Halo 3] = 394.5K

What's going on here? Both of these numbers are off, but not in the same way. Halo 3 obviously does NOT include the collectors/legendary editions... which is fine, except GH3 obviously DOES include stand alone as well as bundled.

It either makes sense to combine all SKUs for a given title or not combine them at all.

you're right


donny, the correct h3 #'s are 433.8K in case it screwed you up

 

[Clever Pun]

wow, 2nd place! Too bad I didn't do nearly that well on the Hardware side of things.

 

[Belgorim]

haha, I have been way too high on average both months so far...

 

[titiklabingapat]

Beermonkey, you're good!

Whats your SMG predictions?

 

[Beer Monkey]

Beermonkey, you're good!

Whats your SMG predictions?

Uh, too early for me to guess. I sure hope it sells like gangbusters. Toys 'R Us here sold their entire first shipment, except for four copies, by preorder. I got Best Buy to price match the $25 gift card. Though I have to wonder if TRU is just incompetent, or short-shipped as a bait-and-switch.

I sure hope Galaxy sells better than it is in Japan.

MP3 sold what, about 350,000 or so in its first four weeks? I'd like to think that Galaxy will sell 2-3x that.

 

[dammitmattt]

Orange Box and Ratchet (poor Ratchet) killed me, but overall, not too bad. The view is nice from up here

 

[andy_lhc]

Dang. I really sucks at these kind of prediction...:lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

[360 Ace Combat 6] 155,000 - high by 60k
[360 Guitar Hero III] 273,000 - low by 218k :lol
[360 Halo 3] 385,000 - low by 9k
[360 The Orange Box] 350,000 - low by 111k
[NDS Zelda: Phantom Hourglass] 245,000 low by 17k - not bad
[PS2 Guitar Hero III] 290,000 - hahahahahahaha
[PS3 Ratchet & Clank Future] 210,000 - OUCH
[PS3 Guitar Hero III] 110,000 - off by 4k
[WII Guitar Hero III] 140,000 needed to double this
[WII Metroid Prime 3] 120,000 and divide this by 3

Well. At least I got Halo 3 right. :lol

I hope there's more participation next month. Software predictions are a lot tougher.

 

[Gadfly]

no you didn't.:lol

433-385= low by 48K

The 394k listed above does not include all SKUs.

 

[radjago]

The correction on Halo 3 will only help my astronomical rise to the top!

 

[donny2112]

donny, the correct h3 #'s are 433.8K in case it screwed you up

It did indeedy. beermonkey@tehbias still wins! :lol

All the points are now updated in the original post.
