Wow still 29th and 17th. 16th for the year, im pretty happy with that.
I like how you wrote that the PS4 would comfortably be over 200k and it got 199k
Edit: Forgot to write congratulations (!) and also to FiggyCal who posted right below me making me look stupid
My points score really suffered from the PS3 it seems. I'm happy otherwise. Not a big score, but nothing was far off apart from the PS3.

NPD threads used to be way better back in 2008.
The gifs... oh, man. They were legendary.

Whatever, after those terrible predictions, I will take 18th place any day.
Congratulations to FiggyCal.
Sorry for the late reply, but I think based on leader boards general consensus in the Trails OT was that it sold more on Xbone than PS4.

I was utterly destroyed by PS4 and Xbox One. I was too high on everybody, but +84K on XB1 and +83K on PS4 hurt. PS3 hurt in percentage terms, but not so much in raw value.
Code:
System Pred. Actual Off Pct
[360] 84,000 71,000 13,000 18%
[3DS] 121,000 106,000 15,000 14%
[PS3] 51,000 35,000 16,000 46%
[PS4] 282,000 199,000 83,000 42%
[WIU] 53,000 48,000 5,000 10%
[XB1] 199,000 115,000 84,000 73%PS3 is not included in points. You may have been missing the 10 point bonus for getting the system order correct due to PS3, though.

Woah, nr 3 for the year
Code:
Overall 2014 Top (3/4)
01. FiggyCal 273.48
02. kyser73 262.84
03. Canis lupus 260.28Ah, I just did worse than I thought
Those ten points would bump me from 42. to 16 so that seems to explain the delta from unit placement (18).
It always surprises me how close it is. That jump in placement from a 13% higher score.

Yeah. I'm not nearly as pessimistic as I should be in slow months...and when I get too pessimistic in busy months, the numbers are higher than I expect!

They didn't do that bad in units, but putting XBO ahead of the PS4... tsc tsc tsc
Did anyone else predict that (that counted)?
