So if they we're shipped in January, then no, right?

I'm here! Just got in from shoveling! Wherez tha numberz? Hehehe.

I swear, I woke up this morning and thought it was Christmas all over again.

edit: By the way, I banked on Wii shortages and predicted a narrow 360 win. :D

I'm sort of looking forward to the Famitsu update more than NPD, tonight. Heresy?

Edit:
NPD brings back the Internal Server errors when E3 failed to this year. :lol

You got "500 - Internal Server Error" in my "Official December NPD Prediction Thread - closes Friday Jan 11, WII > 360+PS3?"

Ah, the classic "500--Internal Server Error" can mean only one thing--it's NPD time, baby!

GAF Aggregate overestimate X360, Wii, and underestimate PS2, PS3 & PSP (very slightly), NDS.

I overestimate Wii a lot, almost spot on with PSP, while the others are not doing too bad.

lowball? outside of not knowing anything about wii availability, i think most of the numbers are sound.

I guess we were both somewhat right. PS2 and NDS were lowballed, while 360 and Wii were too high. You nailed the 360 though.

Actually, the PS3 was very slightly overestimated.

Edit: and I had 800k on PS3 before that piece-of-shit-Sony-PR was released. Next time, I'm sticking to my own numbers.

I think I was kinda close on NDS, PS2, PSP and WII.

Man... PS3 and X360 totally threw me off, I just thought PS3 would do better and I thought 360 was supply constrained after reports so I just bumped it up to whatever I thought they shipped :)

A lot more constrained than that apparently. :lol

Seriously though, I think the 360 would have probably done 200k more if they'd got enough elites and premiums out. That said, I think the Wii could have done another 700k.

Yeah, the Wii could no doubt have done a lot more, I think most people where taking shortages into their predictions. My faulty thinking was that MS would easily be able to ship insane amounts of premiums. They obviously didnt, even though 1,2M+ is still good.

edit: I do admit mine was on the extreme high side though for 360 :)

I was pretty much nailed the PS3, PSP and Wii. Off by ~200k on the 360, NDS and PS2 - EACH.

Ouch!

Fucking PS2.

Just when I thought it was starting to die off, it turns around and does over a million. :lol

Besides that, I did pretty well with my predictions.
