Unfortunately for Pachter, he didn't make PS2 or GBA predictions this month. It killed his score.

The points system will moderate that somewhat. Many of us got killed on the 360, but it counts the same as the other systems in terms of points despite the heighted units. We'll have to wait for Donny.

 

[Jiggy]

From top 24 to below the GAF aggregate. Sad. I'll content myself with outdoing Sales-Age luminaries like sonycowboy and JoshuaJSlone, though.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Everyone who likes Halo already has a 360

Wii is not for real gamers

Good job to Heavenly Sword though for real.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Oh my #224 :lol

So far so good. Now we just need donny's numbers.

Psychotext was #99 by the points system.

Yay! I've only ever entered 3 NPD prediction threads, feeling pretty chuffed about that.

Psychotext was #99 by the points system.

Ah, no competition at all then.

How many folks got the rankings correct. The only tough part being 360 > Wii > DS, but that's likely going to be enough to make the number of folks small.

 

[donny2112]

How many folks got the rankings correct.

23 or about 10% of those who entered.

WOOH! I got the ranking right at least! In your face, uhh, somebody!

BTW, Nice job on the system you folks have put together to calculate all this stuff so quickly.

 

[Sviatoslav]

48th. Worse than last month. Damn you 360 and your high selling ways.

 

[GhaleonEB]

The points system will moderate that somewhat. Many of us got killed on the 360, but it counts the same as the other systems in terms of points despite the heighted units. We'll have to wait for Donny.

Moderate it? It knocked me down to #54! :lol

Such an incredible month. I've been gaming since the Atari days, and it has me grinning ear to ear to see this industry grow so fast.

Also, hats off to you, Donny, NPD and Cheesmeister. The organization brought to these predictions has made the whole discussion that much more fun. Cool of NPD to provide software for the ten we used.

you didn't put "K" after your wii and psp predictions. Basically you only predictied that they would sell a couple hundred units.

140. duk - 346,700

9. SIP YEK NOD - 180,700


awesome, top 10 in my second month. i am so proud of myself

[Haunted]

11. Haunted One

my best result so far. Nice.


Also nice to see that I held onto and even climbed a bit in the Top 30 for the last 3 months and the 2007 overall chart.

 

[TheSmokingManX]

191 - not too bad for my first go at this. Still kinda disappointed, though.

 

[JDSN]

:lol Im gonna participate more often.

 

[Frillen]

26th

Not bad. PS3 and 360 made a mess for me though.

 

[sonycowboy]

Moderate it? It knocked me down to #54! :lol

Such an incredible month. I've been gaming since the Atari days, and it has me grinning ear to ear to see this industry grow so fast.

Also, hats off to you, Donny, NPD and Cheesmeister. The organization brought to these predictions has made the whole discussion that much more fun. Cool of NPD to provide software for the ten we used.

If the 360 was your only problem, you'd have done better with the points system.

I'm also quite happy at the resuciation of the prediction threads to these heights. I started the scoring and prediction system like 3-4 years ago and people thought I was insane. Now, there are like 4 or 5 competing industry predictors out there. And, I think NeoGAF is traditionally the best.

 

[andy_lhc]

I am at 156...Beginner's luck....:lol :lol

 

[eclipze]

debuted at #49. Next month, top 10.

 

[zsidane]

76. zsidane - 276,700

I know I can do better

 

[apujanata]

50. apujanata - 252,700

I was really killed by my X360 prediction. Should have predicted it higher.
I also should have stayed with my original Wii prediction, which was 500K, almost on spot with it.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I was #14 one month. Good times Good times.

 

[rakka]

predicted way too low for DS and 360

#127

 

[Livin_Lovin]

Jesus Christ. :lol #228. I thought it was going to be a slower month...

 

[Xeke]

I'll take #24. Top 25 yeah!

 

[botticus]

10. botticus - 184,700

Holy shit, that was a lot better than my first predictions last month.

 

[devilscallmedad]

3. devilscallmedad - 125,100

woohoo i made number 3, 360 was a big miss this month for most people

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I honestly have a lot of fun with this. It's become my favorite part of NPD day.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

172. JoshuaJSlone - 405,700

That's gonna leave a mark.

2007 overall
JoshuaJSlone 1,141.81

Well, OK, I guess not a big enough one. Looks like my lead on #2 GhaleonEB has been cut in half, though.

 

[Brak]

I'm pretty happy with #31. I always end up being way off on one system though; the PSP the past couple of months, before that the Wii, and this month the 360.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Oh yeah, the results of my "best predictors averages". Not hot results.

August 2007: 292,450
Last 3 months: 285,220
2007 Overall: 216,580

So only the 2007 overall group did better than the full GAF aggregate.

 

[DayShallCome]

Eww, hideous month. The 360 straight mollywhomped me. Oh well, at least I finished 2nd in the SW Predictions.

 

[PhoenixDark]

196. PhoenixDark - 458,500

 

[Earthstrike]

WTF?
Earthstrike 859.58

I'm 25th overall? God damn I would've tried harder at this months numbers if I knew I was competing. i.e. factoring in the week tracking difference and thinking about 360 more carefully.

Our PSP predictions killed us
It's quite weird in Japan PSP sells worse on average than the US, yet it sells more during the Slim launch than their US counterpart.
