Chart-Track: 82% drop in UK PS3 sales 'doesn't mean anything'

Apr 5th 2007 4:25PM (Joystiq)

Check out these charts on the console wars: http://www.thesimexchange.com/consoles.php

Notice how the PS3 prediction plunged just as the 82% drop in sales news emerged. These forecasts are probably some of the best because they are based on prediction market trading and not analyst analysis.

February NPD data show DS, Wii on top

Mar 16th 2007 4:09PM (Joystiq)

Most of the NPD results were in line with predictions on the simExchange video game prediction market http://www.thesimexchange.com. I think the only suprises in the top 10 were MLB 2k7 and NBA Street as the predictions weren't all that high for those.

Big surprises were for the more low profile games. Phoenix Wright and Hotel Dusk continue to do poorly. Fuzion Frenzy 2 did very poorly. Yoshi's Island 2 did very well.

A lot of people are surprised with Wii Play's results for some reason, but the predictions for the game have been in around 4.3 million copies for a while. http://www.thesimexchange.com/stock.php?id=95
