Prediction entries must be in and finalized by 4 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, July 18th. This is to, hopefully, close entries before the Canadian numbers can come in. If the Canadian numbers come in before that time, the deadline will not change for this month. Next month's deadline would be earlier, though. ;)

NPD Release: July 23rd @ 4:00 p.m. EDT (thread posted around 6:30 p.m. EDT)
NPD Coverage: June 3 - July 7 (5 weeks)

Don't forget to use the proper format when posting predictions.

Cheesemeister said:
Post formatting guidelines for the parser...

List numeric values following system tags on their own lines in a post. All non-numeric characters following the tag will be stripped out, save for the first instance of the letter K in either upper or lower-case, which will be replaced with 3 zeroes. Make predictions by the set deadline, at which point the parser will be run. If a given poster has more than one post with predictions, guesses in subsequent posts will override previous guesses. By the same token, subsequent guesses on the same system within a given post will overwrite previous guesses.

Some examples of valid input follow, but do at least keep them readable for your fellow forum-goers.

[PS2] 123,456
[PSP] 123456
[PS3] 123K
[360] 123k - because of Halo 3 anticipation
[GBA]12 3 Totakeke
[NGC] 1 2 3 4 5 6
[NDS] 123456 (You will say WOW.)
[WII] 123'456

Invalid input:

Sony PlayStation 2: 123,455 plus one
PS Three - 123KK
Weeeeee ~ one hundred twenty-three thousand kajillion units!!!1lol
...

Any lines without valid input, i.e. your comments, will be ignored. Questions, comments?

Use integers only so no decimal points. Also, put any software predictions into "quote" tags so they won't be mistaken as hardware predictions.

Cheesemeister,
Please don't post the GAF aggregate until after the prediction deadline. The GAF aggregate kicked almost everyone's butt last month. :lol

sonycowboy mentioned in last month's prediction thread that he'd like to have software predictions this month. With that in mind, I thought we'd start with a subset of his former rules. This will be separate from the hardware predictions and will not count toward the hardware rankings.

Required Software Predictions
1) Top 10 overall w/units (must pick per sku, not combining multi-platform)
2) Overall Software Sales for the month in dollars

Point System
1) 10 points for each title at correct ordinal position in your overall top 10 (-1 for each position off, minimum of 0 points). Maximum points: 100
2) 10 points * (percentage of correct units for each title, anything over 100% difference = 0 points) in your overall top 10. Maximum points: 100
3) 20 points * (percentage of correct overall software sales in dollars, anything over 100% difference = 0 points). Maximum points: 20

Let's use that word now.

Oh, and I don't plan on posting any preliminary collections of numbers this time 'round. Last time it was done largely for verification purposes in developing the parser. Now I'll just generate the List of Shame, haha.
