The simExchange Predictions

Since the December sales figures for a few games and the consoles were released, I thought I would compare them the figures forcasted by the simExchange. All figures are approximate.

OVER THE COURSE OF DECEMBER:

Nintendo DS:
Prediction – 2,900,000 units
Actual sales – 2,500,000 units

Wii:
Prediction – 1,730,000 units
Actual sales – 1,400,000 units

Xbox 360:
Prediction – 1,450,000 units
Actual sales – 1,300,000 units

Playstation Portable:
Prediction – 1,030,000 units
Actual sales – 1,000,000 units

Playstation 3:
Prediction – 854,000 units
Actual sales – 800,000 units

Super Mario Galaxy:
Prediction – 1,260,000 units
Actual sales – 1,400,000 units

As you can see, the predictions are not precise, but they are quite impressive for the method in which they are made. See the original predictions here
