Very good annual sales in terms of the entire industry. I think I will start to make predictions this year too.

Thanks, Welfare and Ryng Manuel Tolu! (Using Welfare's numbers here, for reference.)

On NeoGAF, there was a full 2017 year prediction done in January. This was before any monthly numbers had come out, so it was basically blind. For the result instead of creating a new thread, will just add it here. This is different than the annual results posted earlier, as that was the sum of the monthlies. Also, this is still using the NeoGAF names. Sorry. :(

I think i predicted something like, but i was not on GAF so results doesn't count for me:

Switch and PS4 - 4.5 million
XB1 - 3.5 million

So i would be: 960K off with PS4, 390K off with Switch, and 780K with XB1. Total would be 2.1 million off, so i would be at #24 right after Welfare, Bruno, and freefornow.

Thanks donny2112 , congrats to skedar897 if he is around.

Happy to just make it to top 5, underestimating PS4 cost me, also X1 performed worse than I expected with X1X launch.
PS4 off by 660K
X1 off by 320K
NSW off by 210K

Congratulations, skedar897! :D

Woohoo 6th, I'll take it! Thanks again for putting this on each year Donny! I ended up missing a couple months (for the monthly threads) between the site switch and work getting crazy busy, so I kinda fell off in those threads, but I still got a chance to read the discussions from time to time, and always enjoy everyone's insight. Looking forward to participating again for 2018!
