- Play War Thunder now with my link, and get a massive, free bonus pack including vehicles, boosters and more: playwt.link/whimsu
War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircrafts and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
So I made a bunch of predictions about video games, about xbox, about playstation, nintendo, and even not nintendo in late 2022 about 2023.
Most of them were wrong, so I'm gonna go over them and laugh at myself. - Hry

No! And I don't care, since I'll get bored with it, and it ruins the bloody video! So disliked, and possibly not recommended, and ALSO even if I have the sponsor skipper, I WON'T be bothered watching this video, and ALSO ALSO the sponsor isn't good, because it's stupid, and lazily placed in, and also also the War Thunder is ALREADY the worst part of the video, not you suffering with your predictions which I think were right (not really). Also did you even played that game? Because I think you haven't, and I didn't see a non-sponsor mention on your channel (I do understand money and that crap, but come on mate)
And also, it appears this video was out way after Christmas, because I can see a snail with an elf outfit, a reindeer one, and the Grinch one.
@@vsetfan2024 the snail will find you 🐌
God that sponsor segway was flawless. It looks so awkward 99% of times when content makers try to make those transitions as seamless as possible, but they can't keep it substantial throughout the whole thing, so you're instantly made aware they're blabbering away from the point they had a few second ago, and you just know what's coming next.
A sincere, momentary, bang-on-the-head sponsor opener is way more honest and respectful in my opinion.
👍👍👍
Uh... Valve did release a game this year my friend. Counter Strike II. Sorry to push your correctness count down even further.
Oh, shit, I totally forgot, too. Lol
If we’re getting technically they just “updated” csgo
they did not, they just updated the old game and added a '2' to the name, that's not a new game.
@@LemonCupcakeVRInfinitythey added smoke physics so it's fine lol JK
@@niceleverace yes I forgot nevermind xD
To be fair, the whole EA acquisition came from the CEO announcing that they are looking for buyers. All of them failed to mention that his one condition would be that he'd stay in charge of both companies, which is wild and I have no idea what company would take it. Deinitely not Disney.
I watch your videos because you are hilarious, not because they're the most unbiased and reliable pieces of information on the internet so don't worry
"It can't get worse. It can't be any worse than that."

This is fun. Cant wait for the 2024 prediction video to come out next week 💀
Dear Whimsu,
I wanted to reach out and express my support during this challenging time for your channel. Your presence has been missed, and it's clear that your dedication hasn't gone unnoticed. Personally, I've been following your journey since discovering the console variation videos, and your insights into limited edition gaming items were truly enjoyable. Your channel has been a go-to for gaming news, and I'm hopeful to see a return to that engaging content in the future.
I deeply appreciate the effort and hard work you've put into your content, and I genuinely hope things take a turn for the better soon. Thank you for everything you've shared with us.
Best wishes.
Nintendo buying Ubisoft was a wild prediction lol
You forgot to mention the rise and fall of Blumpo which topped all the charts and then disappeared mysteriously
We do not mention the fates of Blumpo
a cat cannot predict when a ham is cooked, it only hops onto it even if its scoldingly hot.
Just wanna say that I really love this channel and knowledge husk. I appreciate the work you put in to entertain us content goblins, stay strong Ty!
Also, I think for 2024 what could be fun is not only take YOUR predictions but also some top yt comment predictions, ones that stand out the most. At the very least we can all be wrong together.
I'm still confused between this and Knowledge Husk
@@UrbanistBloomsI think knowledge husk used to be Cody's. Back in the early days.
@@jakecravens8833wasn’t it originally Knowledge Hub?
I watch both channels and never noticed lol
I didn’t feel like prediction video content needs to be amazingly accurate, but it is better that, they are thought-provoking and reasonable reasonably likely, I’d say don’t beat yourself up over it
I love this channel. Love your other one. Sad to hear it's not going great. Hopefully 2024 goes better
Honestly I dont mind the predictions being wrong. Its actually good that you do them because for the most part your predictions are based in reasonable Logic. Even if they are wrong its good hearing your reasoning behind them shows a certain school of thought. And its quite enjoyable and refreshing
I absolutely did miss your content, please don’t think you weren’t missed
6:06 the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra is a controller that recently released with a screen on it, partnered with Xbox, maybe that's what this was?
Whats funny is i did notice the lack of content. I literally checked the Knowledgehub and Whimsu channels earlier this week for new videos. Also congrats on 100K subscribers
Don't sweat being wrong. I'm here for analysis and predictions from you, and in situations where you go, "this was wrong" I literally go back and watch that one again. I don't know what you gotta do to make your career viable really, but I'm here for it.
I would make the argument that what you do on the channel is entertain us with gaming "news" and commentary. I'm not holding your feet to the fire over what tech companies do or don't do my dude!
I was literally correct in ALL my predictions this year. I just look at history because it tends to repeat itself. I study the weather patterns, stars, economy, and world politics. Then I don't try to make predictions
Genuinely love this channel and knowledge husk. Anything you or cody does is fucking great. Keep up the good work Chief. I know i certainly miss your uploads. Easily one of the best channels on all of CZcams. Truly.
7:00 A 1TB model of the Series S launched, so if the 512GB is discontinued next year, that's +1 just not in the right year
I feel like you were kinda correct with the price hike for the PS5? Because the digital PS5 Slim costs $449.99 USD, which is indeed more expensive than the original PS5 digital.
I still loved hanging out with you in your streams this year man, it was fun. If this is it, that's cool. I hope your luck changes in 2024.
I definitely did notice that you hadn't made any new videos in a while, I especially noticed you weren't doing any streams either, which is a shame because I actually really like the streams
Prediction 2 was right! You're using Sony getting advertising rights to BG3 to say you were wrong?! Literally all they released in 2023 was Spiderman2, you were absolutely right!
As an Ecuadorian, thank you for using our national anthem for your War Thunder promo... I guess.
Hope things start going better for you, love your vids & style. All the best
Literally put out any video and I will watch it. You are the best my man. Happy new year
Honestly, I noticed it, and you acknowledging the predictions is pretty cool. Big ups
Glad your channel exists. Have a great 2024!
I have actually really enjoyed the content youve put out this year!
Hope everything is going alright Whimsu. I’ve been following you for years and will always continue to watch whatever you put out.
Predicting the future is betting against god in that even the best will get it wrong 90% of the time since in order to predict the future accurately we need to be practically omniscient. Love your channel, keep up the good work and have a happy new year!
congrats on 100k!!
I mean, skull and bones did underperform in sales, at least in the most literal way, by achieving zero sales. So I'd give that one to you.
didn't the PSVR2 not let you play games from the regular PSVR?
not really a reason to upgrade if there's nothing to play, nor can you even play your existing library at higher resolutions/framerates/etc.
Just wanted to say, predict away! If nothing else, it's a lot of fun to look back and see what came true and what didn't. It's like your videos looking at the world of tomorrow stuff, or the other future predictions! And not everything you predict is wrong because you were wrong, but because conditions or direction changed. So yeah, I vote more prediction videos.
Honestly when it comes to predicting the future, anyone more accurate than, say... 10% is doing alright.
Off topic but I really hope you bring back the intro! It's so happy and well done and genuinely makes me more excited to watch your videos! I will watch all of the regardless, but man that intro is a banger.
"Sure hope 2024 is... It can't get worse. It can't be worse than that."
Sounds like a prediction to me. And you know what it means.
What up, Ty?! Happy New Year!
has nintendo even bought a company before?
i can't think of one, but i also don't keep up with them so i could be wrong.
I do respect keeping yourself honest like this, but really, some of those predictions were absurd even back then, man. I mean stuff like Starfield and CoD were reasonable, but have you ever _met_ a VR enthusiast? They don't care about console VR at all, least none of the ones I know!
I'm pretty sure PS VR2 sold better than expected.
Glad to see you back, you funky little cat. Been a while.
You're doing amazing! Don't give up, you're great!
Missed your videos man
2024: Same suck, but different. It's designed that way so that new neurons are targeted in order to make sure that our brains feel like it's a fresh new hell. 😀
1:45 - "...I FEEL GOOD, *DANA NANA NAH NANAH-*"
"it cant get worse" lol, lmao even
happy 100k!
I watch Whimsu for the ever-increasing sense of desperation in your voice
I'm suprised you actually got sponsored here
The slim Digital PS5 has a $50 price hike.
I noticed when you weren’t here, I’ve noticed when you have an uploaded I noticed when you’re not near and it put me in fear
Didn't the PS5 Digital get bumped up to $450? They are no longer making the fat model, and the slim has an MSRP of $450
Ehhh...laughing at bad predictions is usually better content that crowing about good ones. Milk your mistakes for all they're worth, and keep making banger videos, Whimsu.
Speculation is still fun.
Like predicting what the future would be like.
Love your channel! Thank you for sharing your failed perdition and owning them. We need more CZcamsrs to do the same.
I think that for the next year of predictions you should also flip a coin, not if it would happen or not and then see how your predictions match up versus random chance 50-50s
WHIMSU IS BACK WOOHOO!!! I MISSED YOU dw this year sucked for me as well
lol why are you using the ecuadorian anthem as the background theme in your sponsored section?
I noticed whimsu senpai always notices you whimsu
Imma be real with you, Whimsu. Getting 15/31 predictions for an entire *year* correct...is REALLY fucking good. Like my guy, predicting the future is VERY difficult, way harder than people think. You could say it's a 50% success rate, but remember that these aren't true/false questions. You had to actively pay attention to the industry, and make specific predictions, when literally *anything* can happen over the course of 365 days. And remember, that's a 50% success rate while being *very* conservative with your bar for "accurate prediction". There were at least a few of those predictions that did come true, just not in the exact way you said it would.
And moreover, I give you some fucking credit for going back to your predictions and calling out when you were wrong. I trust a forecaster who is willing to risk making more outlandish predictions, then own up to when they failed, more than one who is ultraconservative, and ignores when they were wrong. There are actual journalists looking at this industry (with more access than you), who don't do that.
And speaking of "Oh I was just extrapolating based on the reporting at the end of the year" Bro that is *literally* what forecasting is. What the fuck else were you supposed to use? You got a 50% sucess rate with *open source data*.
So don't beat yourself up, dude, honestly, you did REALLY well, and even when you missed, you owned up to it.
Hope you have a Happy New Years!
Was that the Ecuadorian Anthem!? Dude that's my parents country! 😊😊
It's so funny that the video about PREDICTIONS going wrong it's being sponsored by the game INFAMOUS FOR IT'S LEAKS
Hey I loved that song that was playing at the end of the video, does anyone have a name or link for it?
Maybe we’ll see an Xbox controller with a screen this year with the Xbox Brooklin on the way. It would basically be the Microsoft version of the Wii U GamePad.
I didn't notice but I'm glad you're here
Honestly... I'd love that Xbox controller thing to be real. Could you imagine emulating Dreamcast with a screen on an actually comfortable controller??
50% isnt bad. Ask Nostradamus.......
MW3 is an MW2 dlc. source, it's listed and sold as an add-on to MW2
Actually, Microsoft did acquire Fungible and Nemesys games in 2023

I hope you do another prediction vid for 2024
The fact you went back and graded yourself is all that matters. Now let’s do 2024 predictions!
About the pokemon games gen 5 was announced and with pal world out people is ready to beat up Pokémon Co if they f up.
I have a PSVR 2, I think it’s cool, RE4 VR is crazy
So …. Any predictions for 2024?
This channel’s use-case is entertainment, and I am consistently entertained.
Do not hold yourself to an unrealistic standard.
Actually, whatever it is you’re doing now is working pretty well for me.
I’ve always loved your content ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Didn't the PS5 Digital get bumped up to $450? You can no longer buy the Fat from Sony, and the MSRP of the slim is $449
I am excited for the 2024 wrap up to be even more dissapointing for us all. YAY!
The Audio is super quiet on this. My phone is at max volume and I still can barely hear it compared to other people's videos who amplify their audio.
Will you make a prediction to 2024? (I would like to hear it)
Well you can always bet on us the consumer getting screwed over. That is always a safe bet.
If it means anything at all, I watch because I just find your personality and format entertaining. Makes no difference to me if your predictions are on or off.
So Sony owns the rights to X-Men in video games from now until 2035.
I noticed you weren't around as much, you were totally missed. We're not here because we think you're going to be this guy that's right all the time, the "why" of your predictions is as important as the accuracy. Your breakdowns of the industry are great
Im fine with the way it all went down, except Starfield only being good and not great. That really hurt. But the more i think about the way Bethesda has been making games since Fallout 4, the more i realized i expected more than i should have. Hopefully Todd Howard doesnt have as much control over the next phase of the game lol
Prediction may not be your strong suit. It's not most peoples strong suit. However, I believe you excel at providing broader context to situations and news. You're excellent at taking complicated topics within the industry and making them more digestible to mainstream audiences as well.
what are your 2024 predictions?
Technically the OLED Steamdeck does have better performance. In the terms of battery life, at least (and technically better visuals because of the true blacks)
Whimsu weather forecast channel 2024??
The predictions may have been bad but the times were good
If anything, the AAA video games industries are gonna be in their bleakest voyages, with how both music and console games definitely did not define 2023 very much.
My expectations are now tempered down to very few releases onwards.
Any man willing to examine his past intellectual faults and reassess is an intellectual giant. Most people won’t do it no matter how valuable it could be. If you examine the parsimony of most predictions by any person in any field, they’re poor. But the people who postulate them rarely examine past predictions. How many political science, economics professors or politicians admit which of their predictions failed? Please keep it up, whatever “it” is
I'm surprised Demons Souls hasn't been ported to the PC. It seems like a good fit. Granted, Bloodborne hasn't come to PC either. No idea why. It's not like FromSoftware is shy about PC ports and a lot of Sony titles have already made the leap.
Can't be wrong about 2024 if you don't make predictions about 2024!
Oh, hey Whimsu. We thought you were dead.
He was HIGHLY accurate on Timmy Turner too. I don't know who to trust anymore.
