You guys are turning this thread into an AVS style thread. We don't need to waste all the pages on guesses.

My prediction :

If people want to do it then we should let them but it would be preferable if a seperate thread was created specificaly for this purpose every week as to not clutter this one.

Not a big deal to me. When the numbers are officially released the mods can put the numbers at the beginning of the thread title, just like they did last week.

HD DVD fanboys would probably say that anything above 15 for their format will be a victory, as they are making a comeback eh?

Lol, reactions to the engadgethd posting are going to be priceless tomorrow, wether we are doing better or worse than last week

Hey, Fozzi, that is my schtick!

And to think I was going to start running a game here next week. harumph.




Fozziwig, want me to take over next week or would you like a copy of the database Icemage made for me?

I just had a bit of spare time today that's all. If you want to run a regular game then that's great. I'll take part but I'm more than happy to leave the running of the operation to your goodself!

Lol, how about the victory or just bragging rights. Unless Winn has stuff to just give away.

What was the prize over at AVS for the first year?

Both you and Dakota miss the point. Neither of you are mods here and should not be telling others how to post. Not saying you are unreal. Anyway, if it were a problem the mods would tell us. Period.

On a separate note, I guess we now know who all of the early number leaks were for. Haven't seen many since Blu Ray won a couple weeks back.

Hell just to piss off Dakota Ill post a guess.

80:20 Blu of course.

Not pretending to be a mod... just pointing out the obvious: Somebody looking for ACTUAL numbers is going to have a hard time finding them while siftting through 150+ predictions. Logicaly, it would make sense to have a seperate thread out of common courtesy for folks just trying to get to the ACTUAL numbers.

Are you a mod yourself? I always think it's funny when someone posts that someone else isn't allowed to tell others what they're allowed to do.

I think this is a pretty unmoderated thread, and I don't think the mods are really looking to get involved ("if it were a problem the mods would tell us"), so I don't have a problem with people expressing an opinion on what they believe the point of this thread should be. I also don't have a problem with people suggesting that there be a separate thread just for guessing (which would in fact be my preference as well).

Dave Vaughn was the primary leaker, and he announced well in advance that he was going to stop leaking the number, so it's not really a surprise or proof of anything that the leaks have stopped.

Not trying to piss anyone off, but since we're all guessing, I'll go with 89:11.

I think we're on track for 90s very soon, and I think the people that think it's going to swing back into the mid- to low 70s "as things get back to normal" are mistaken. I also think people looking for a big change to start after Warner stops making HD DVDs in May are mistaken, as the writing being on the wall is enough to effect most of the change well in advance of that.

People told me I was crazy when I said we'd have 90s by February. After last week, I asked if it sounded so hard to believe now, and I was told that yes, it was, because it gets harder to shift the numbers the higher you go.

But it's only harder if Blu-ray has to do it solely by making massive gains. It's not that hard if HD DVD is imploding...and HD DVD is imploding.
