I think his X360 forecast will be in line with the actual numbers at the end of the year. Last year 360 sold 4.62m units and imo this year it'll sell a little bit higher, maybe between 4.8m and 5m units.
But his PSP forecast will be way off. PSP started this year a lot better than last year and yet he predicted only 3.8m unit sales in 2008 which is 20k lower than PSP's 2007 sales.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 297 ]bids

The more interesting part is that he didn't change his X360 & PSP prediction. All other prediction were changed (even though PS3 are only up 5%), but those two didn't.
I think he (Colin Sebastian) is going to be surprised when his predictions are way different from 2008 actual.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
