No. I do it for a monthly competition. Pud: My Wii predictions are actually a little on the low side compared to what I've seen elsewhere but I reckon they're going to start keeping stock back for xmas now. I think the PS3 will get a slight increase over last month because there was a bit of a stock issue with the old models running out before the new ones hit store shelves in any great number. Hobby? No. I do it for a monthly competition.

So piss off! I do think your Wii prdictions are a bit high. Dunno why. (hope maybe?) So I mean, how well is that actually for the 360? This should be the sales spike and it's 140,000 up on last month. Not even double. I dunno, I also think your PS3 predictions are generous to say the least. EDIT: Just noticed, basically, I am a pessimist this month all round. I am not part of maths. So piss off!

They look odd because I base them off percentage changes in sales. Weekly numbers, multiplied, etc. Mathematical formulas etc.

Anecdotal evidence on supply / sales as well. Especially supply for the Wii. Plus obviously price cuts / promotions. Like for instance this month I'll look at how 09/07 compared to 08/07 and how 08/07 compared to 08/08... as well as how the machines are trending this year as a general rule. Trends mostly.

It's got to be a big jump for 360, and I can't see what would have made the difference to PS3, so I'm sure a 360 lead's along the right lines. I have no idea this month.
