Format thanks to donny2112.

Please use these guidelines if at all possible:

Post formatting guidelines for the parser...

List numeric values following system tags on their own lines in a post. All non-numeric characters following the tag will be stripped out, save for the first instance of the letter K in either upper or lower-case, which will be replaced with 3 zeroes. Make predictions by the set deadline, at which point the parser will be run. If a given poster has more than one post with predictions, guesses in subsequent posts will override previous guesses. By the same token, subsequent guesses on the same system within a given post will overwrite previous guesses.

Some examples of valid input follow, but do at least keep them readable for your fellow forum-goers.

No, both April and May are four weeks. June will be five weeks.

Let's hope people can follow directions.

It is. I hadn't seen it posted already, and I'm not sure what makes the thread official or not, but I wanted to post predictions dag nab it, so I did it.

When do the NPD's come out? This week?

Yeah, I would like to see that as well. Is May traditionally one of the slower months? Software releases seem to suggest that and everything not named Wii and DS should see some form of slowdown.

If anyone wants to suggest significant releases, please feel free. To me it's kinda subjective, and I will probably miss releases on platforms that I do not own.

That would be pretty hard I think, since searching these days only does to the 1st of January 2006.

Someone might have a link but don't hold your breath.

I'm going to drop my DS and Wii numbers because I don't think Nintendo will have shipped a huge amount of them this month. No Pokebomb or such.

I lowballed Nintendo's console because the Japanese shipments over the same time period were just over 250k, so it seems like it was a low output month for Nintendo, unless they managed to re-shift resources for some reason. The Xbox 2 should stabilize to its 50k/week numbers now that Elite speculation, release, and fanfare has come, gone, and subsided.

Some software numbers:

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 600k/550k
Mario party 8 - 500k 0_o
Forza 2 - 350k
W. Play - 200k
Super Paper Mario - 175k
Command & Conquer 3 - 175k
Guitar Hero 2 - 150k
Shadowrun - 100k
Crackdown - 100k

Forgot Spiderman/Pirates/Shrek garbage. Expect all to blow up on Xbox2/Playstation2.

Edit: Foolproof. :lol
