10 Predictions for 2020
I know, I’m a whole week late to the party. I had to ease back into things after a dreadful occurrence stole my Christmas last year. But I know I’ll want these predictions to be there for me at the end of this year, so I’m making the effort to lay them down now.
- Despite not making make any daft marketing mistakes this time (aside from confusing naming schemes), Microsoft’s Xbox Series X will not boast launch sales greater than the PS5’s.
- However, I expect hype and demand for this new console generation to be less intense than the previous launch, and PS5 launch sales will be behind the PS4’s.
- For real this time: Nintendo will not announce the production of any first-party Wii U titles being remade for the Switch.
- The Washington Capitals will capture the President’s Trophy, but not a second Stanley Cup.
- Despite high demand for a continuing Dragon Ball series, none shall air this year. We might get another movie or short side series, but Dragon Ball Super Duper is not in the cards… yet.
- Nvidia will put AMD’s GPU business back in its place, but Intel will not do the same to AMD’s CPU business.
- Apple will continue to use the Lightning port in its new phones despite it’s almost sole use USB-C ports on its computers.
- Disney will own at least 6 of the 10 top-grossing movies of the year.
- A new Star Trek series starring Anson Mount’s Captain Pike will be announced — but not air — this year.
- And here’s the daring one: Damage Control will add a new byline.
