March 2007 NPD predictions

Arbiter

The simExchange now has monthly NPD predictions.

Current forecasts for March 2007 are:

Nintendo DS: 490K units

Nintendo Wii: 380K units

Xbox 360: 228k units

PlayStation Portable: 178k units

Playstation 3: 142k units

God of War II is top game with 1.14 million copies sold

If you think the prediction is too low, you buy, if you think the prediction is too high, you sell. It is free to play.

How many units do you think each console will sell?

My instincts are screaming "sitewhore" at me. Although you don't have any kind of a referral link in your OP, I'm still skeptical. Try PMing me to convince me you don't work for this website.


EDIT: Here's what I learned:

I am one of the early beta testers for the simExchange and I just think it is a very original site that more people would enjoy and get a lot out of. We have always relied on analysts to provide sales predictions, but now prediction market technology allows us another perspective. It is also a great way for gamers to learn about the stock market.

I am good friends with the founder and am currently ranked #2 in the game. Call me a "site whore" or customer evangelist, but I feel very strongly about the project because it can provide gamers better and better predictions the more people who are aware of the data and participate in the prediction aggregation.

Okay, we've got full disclosure, and I'm fine with this. At worst it's a harmless site--at best, it could be very informative and cool.

Thread unlocked, have at it.

I actually think we had a thread on this a while ago. Sounds cool, let me have a look.
