Hopefully I don't jinx it, but I bet you'll win next month's too!
Most guys here predicted close PS4/XB1/WiiU numbers like I did... the difference in these two months were my 3DS prediction... most here thought it will do worst and I predicted 170k.

So bad I lost the deadline in January... I could be better in 2016 ranking.

Well let's see April.

Let's talk about what will happen in March :p

PS4: no brainier here, PS4 will be only a bit up most because Bloodborn last year... 340k
Xbone: sorry but even trade-in deals and Division bundle won't make Xbone be up... it will stay flat like it did last year... 230k
Wii U: not much to say here... down to 70k
3DS: a lot down yoy again... 170k

[3DS] 170k
[PS4] 340k
[WIU] 70k
[XB1] 230k

- Division will do less than 2.5m and PS4 will sold the most including bundles... my range is 2.0m to 2.3m.
- MLB The Show 16 will do over 200k but less than 250k
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will do less than 250k
- Pokkén Tournament will do less than 200k
- Mortal Kombat XL is out of TOP10


Edit - Checking others predictions... lol am I going crazy with hw?

For others like me that missed the results thread and want to see what ethomaz predicted to get an idea of what the numbers generally are, here you go. Grats ethomaz

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
We are already in 2016 and Nintendo 3DS is still screwing up my predictions.

And in the best way possible, aww yeah.

Seriously, why in the flying fuck is Q1 2016 higher than Q1 2014, what's up with the good March, given its situation, the years on the market...and heck, even the lack of major releases in March.

Let't check the my bets...

- I almost nailed hardware... 10k off on PS4/Xbone and 5k off on Wii U... good

- While Division did less 2.5m it was off my prediction range... bad in a sad way.

- The Show did 25k more than my best numbers... bad in a happy way.

- Zelda did way better than I predicted... bad in a super happy way.

- Pokken 50k better... bad in a happy way.

- MK XL out of the TOP10... good.


Overall I did a good job in hardware but I bad one in software... the good part is expect Division the games sales surprised me in a good way... more sales better for industry.

April will a bit hard to predict in my opinion.. way more variables that can chance the pace of sales.
