[Javin98]

Yeeeesh off to a rough start this year. Didn't even make the top 50 -_-

FFS Javin was only ~10k units different from my PS4 prediction. It's crazy how much of a difference that made.

Haha, hey, even though my PS4 prediction is 10K higher, it's still quite a bit off from the actual numbers. Great to see our XB1 predictions so close though. The PS4 just blew everyone's expectations away while the XB1.... Well, it dragged most of our predictions down.

Yep... I wonder what my actual points were this month. Can't believe that I started off out of the top 50 T_T

To be fair, January was a pretty tough month to predict. I bet the question in most of our heads were "Will both consoles sell poorly after the amazing holiday season?" and the predictions reflect this. Well, on the bright side, February should be easier to predict. And after seeing the XB1 sales in January, I think it's safe for most of us to predict that it will be down YoY.

Congratulations, Twinsanity by Units and biglittleps by Points!

I'm going to spot check some results, but feel free to double-check your own results, since the calculation was modified this month. Points per system (3 of them) were 33.333 (just 3 decimal points used). Thanks!

Edit:
For reference, here's the Top 10 Units Bonus for your calculations, too. Checked Twinsanity and biglittleps, and both looked good to me.
1. 17
2. 13
3. 11
4. 9
5. 7
6. 5
7. 4
8. 3
9. 2
10. 1

Ummm I was n. 23 in units and nowhere in the points top 50?

 

[Fat4all]

Fuck yeah, boy! My first top ten spot.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

overestimated everything except ps4 which i greatly underestimated

what a month

 

[Fdkn]

23th hmmm, not bad for a first time.

I'll try to improve

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Damn you Ryng for your talk about WiiU numbers being too low.

Ok seriusly. What the fuck?

When i said Wii U predictions were low? -_- Link pls...

 

[RexNovis]

Calm down man. it was a joke. It was I reference to you saying how people were underestimating WiiU in the December thread.

 

[Maniel]

15. Maniel - 60,000

I'll take it. Too bad I lowered my ps4 prediction or I would have been top 10 at least.

 

[freefornow]

Congrats to Twinsanity and biglittleps. Thanks to donny2112 for number crunching.

To steal a tag from a regular salesgaf poster "I'm never underestimating the PS4 again"!!

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Calm down man. it was a joke. It was I reference to you saying how people were underestimating WiiU in the December thread.

Yes, in the DECEMBER thread, where People predicted Like 200-300k.

I Know you was joking but that comment make no sense.

 

[{insert code here}]

Thanks, what did I win though!?

My PS4 and xbone numbers were spot on at 228K/130K. I just underestimated Nintendo as usual.

Congrats guys!

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Not bad on my prediction, but I couldn't even imagine that the difference would be so huge for January

 

[OléGunner]

Ahh 63rd overall -_-

My XB1 prediction was too optimistic, the thing tanked harder than I expected in January.

PS4/Wii U predictions were kind of close to the actual numbers so I'm pleased there.

Thanks, what did I win though!?

My PS4 and xbone numbers were spot on at 228K/130K. I just underestimated Nintendo as usual.

Congrats guys!

Well done!

You win Gaf Gold, check your PM's

 

[Apt101]

I actually guessed extremely close to the correct units for PS4 and XB1, but decided to change it at the last second. I just didn't think the PS4 would take it by so much. Had I kept them I would have had about a 10k difference.

 

[Ombala]

Not even in the top 90

 

[prag16]

81. prag16 - 90,000

Yikes. Well. At least I beat the champ donny. I guess that's... something.

 

[donny2112]

Here's #51-100, if you want to see how far out of the Top 50 for the month you are in points. Remember that the lowest points month will be dropped with March's ranking, and the two lowest point months (or just missing months) will be dropped for the annual rankings.

Congratulations, Twinsanity by Units and biglittleps by Points!

I'm going to spot check some results, but feel free to double-check your own results, since the calculation was modified this month. Points per system (3 of them) were 33.333 (just 3 decimal points used). Thanks!

Edit:
For reference, here's the Top 10 Units Bonus for your calculations, too. Checked Twinsanity and biglittleps, and both looked good to me.

Here's #51-100, if you want to see how far out of the Top 50 for the month you are in points. Remember that the lowest points month will be dropped with March's ranking, and the two lowest point months (or just missing months) will be dropped for the annual rankings.

I see that most people are very close, with decimals having an impact.
