For the monthly January 2012 predictions, go here.
This prediction thread covers the grand total of all console hardware sales as given in the NPD reports (or estimations of NPD data from a lack of actual NPD data) from January through December 2012.
Prediction entries must be in and finalized by 8 p.m. EST on Monday, February 6th. Format use is absolutely required.
Do not use decimal points or "m"/"million" in your predictions. If you predict over 1 million for a system, you can use 1000K or more to get to your prediction. Be careful to use the appropriate number of place values so you don't over or understate your predictions by a factor of 10. People who have such outliers will be disqualified.
Note the new platforms this year! We're saying goodbye to the NDS, and hello to the PSV and WII U.
