Last Week's Results:
Analysis:
I nailed the DS and PSP projections, hitting 97% accuracy on each, and was within 1800 units on both the 360 and PS3 projections.
The Wii was down further than expected, but a closer look at the chart on the right shows that it really is falling in line with YOY expectations.
What I'm seeing on a week-to-week basis is that the Adjusted YOY method works. The same things are happening at the same time and this method works for establishing predictability when markets are in a set pattern. That Wii 2008 line vs. the Wii 2007 line is breathtaking.
As it is now, my method is not set in stone and does not have a set equation, but is based on YOY data, current trends, and upcoming releases. I am attempting to establish an equation that can reasonably predict sales results within a huge +/- 5% error. My current method (sans equation) allows a +/- 3.2k unit difference, but a more disappointing accuracy percentage.

Notes, Ideas, Justifications, Expectations:
DS staying steady while DSi hype builds, PSP loses almost 50% of hardware bump after its first week, Wii mirrors 2007 exactly, 360 consistent for past 3 weeks, all confidence in PS3 lost--won't move past 5k until something changes.

Famitsu's early numbers:
DSL 26,004
PSP 66,837
PS3 4,107
PS2 7,467
360 6,858
Wii 25,459
While my projections are based on MediaCreate, it looks like I did fairly well again this week, except for a 20k overshot on the PSP.
Stay right here to see hardware results. They will be released Thursday night.
