Congrats guys!
I got the first 9 right and was 550K out from the last one!

Congratulations to the winners, you guys deserve it

As for the quiz, the multiple choice questions were pretty easy, you could google most of them, except the fable one was a bit of a debate. The two screenshots could also found easily by reverse image searching. Google was making very good guesses with both games. I was actually way off with the unique views however... I checked a ranking website that also listed unique views. I facepalmed hard when I read about the skyward sword leak, because the number I found turned out to be 8 times larger...

 

[Mirby]

I think I put like 5,000 something. SUPER LOWBALL GUESS!

But I think I got the other 9 right... not sure though.

Congrats to the winners!

 

[DinohScene]

Congrats winners!

 

[Jax]

Damn you Molineux and your ambiguous game!


Congrats to the winners!

 

[Fyrus]

/facepalm

I typed in FPS instead of Rail Shooter ...

 

[Satangel]

Got all the questions right but was thinking something around 380k. Do you know how much GBAtemp grew in the past 3 years Costello, do you have the numbers/statistics?

 

[Nathan Drake]

My only problem with the Fable question was this:
- Gamers got upset because it resembled on on-rails shooter due to the navigation being pulled for that particular demo.
- It is not entirely on rails. That implies you have no control over where you're going. That has not been confirmed in any sense. In fact, they went into detail about how you would control the horse and carriage for navigation.
- In the end, it is simply a first person shooter until there is a release far enough along in development to display every game play element.

As it stands, that was a question that was formed around assumptions and the words of a single man. We've seen many times that the words of one person can be misleading.

Regardless, my guess was far off and that doesn't matter. I just couldn't state this in the actual quiz thread, for obvious reasons, and I wanted to get it out there.

Congratulations to the winners. You're better at the number guessing game than I will ever be.

 

[Valwin]

dam i never win :< i blame p1ingpong

 

[Genyus]

Wow my guess was something around 50.000, not even close.

Congrats to the winners and especially Guy.brush who was insanely close

 

[Terenigma]

Got all the questions right and i guessed the visitors at 543210. Congrats to the winners tho!

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Gonna start protesting this, the answer to #10 was definitely "A fuckload". That's what I put at least.

I DEMAND SATISFACTION.

 

[pugmalion1]

Damn it! I got all of the questions right, but I guessed 1,000,001 for the visitor total. So close!

 

[Terenigma]

Damn it! I got all of the questions right, but I guessed 1,000,001 for the visitor total. So close!

Seriously? Wow thats so unlucky dude, i dont feel as bad about losing now... *hugz*

 

[AlanJohn]

Congratz.

 

[pilladoll]

Congratulations tothe winners!

 

[Qtis]

Gah! All first 9 were right and the last one was about 1,300,000 IIRC. Not that bad and far off, though clearly many have put 1,000,000 ± a few thousand (now that I think about it, it's quite clear why.. 1 million is a nice round number ).

-Qtis

ps. @Costello: Do you happen to have a statistic of what the unique visitor amount was when a Pokémon game like Black/White was released/other possible peak time (which I couldn't imagine)? I presume it was higher than HGSS after which I decided to avoid most of GBAtemp when the next game was released (and I was clearly right considering the flood of pokémon related posts back then)

EDIT: Also a big congratulations to all the winners! Good answers on the first ones and quite good guesses on the last question

 

[Arras]

Meh. I got the answer to the first 9 questions, but my guess to question 10 was off by a factor of 10 (I think I guessed about 95,000). Oh well.

 

[rockstar99]

hmm wonder whats round 3

congrats to the winners
