Note:
We're predicting for PS2 for the Unit results only. As there are bonus points granted for finishing in the Top 10 by units, PS2 results could still minorly affect points, but the 20 points granted for the PS2 closeness in the point results is now removed for 2010. We'll still predict for PS2 as long as NPD publicly releases the results, though.

Prediction entries must be in and finalized by 5 p.m. EDT on Sunday, April 11th. Format use is required if you want your entry counted.

NPD Coverage: February 28-April 3rd (5 weeks, February was 4 weeks)
NPD Release: April 15th @ 4 p.m. EDT (thread posted ~6:30 p.m. EDT)

Format:

[360]
[NDS]
[PS2]
[PS3]
[PSP]
[WII]

Code:
Good              Bad
[NDS] 500K        [NDS] 500 thousand
[NDS] 500,000     [NDS] 500.000
[NDS] 500000      [NDS] - 500000
The Software Prediction thread is here.

For the guys expecting PS3 to hit 400k+, are those estimates based on the "God of War 3 effect"?

Pent up demand + God of War 3 + Actual supplies. :lol
 
Is it odd that this and the software thread both completely ignore the launch of Bad Company 2? I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that it sold more units (and moved more hardware) than Final Fantasy XIII.
