| MikeB said: I read a lot of comments from vivid 360 fans back then that the PS3 and Wii would fail. Of course the Wii actually performed amazingly well and the PS3 sold better than the 360 taking equal time of availability. Also many claimed that the PS3 would be inferior to the 360 specs wise. |
I seem to remember that a lot of PS fans called the 360 a failure since it didn't include Bluray, and claimed that the Wii was kiddy. Of course they were adament that the PS3 would be on top almost from day one, but things didn't work out like that 
Now for my expectations
Wii; Would be absolout madness at launch and unfindable for a few months, but after christmas production would exceed demand and it'd be easy to find one in stores around spring. It would enjoy decent sales for most of teh year until taking off at Christmas again, then it would start selling well year round. Basically, sort of what happened with the DS.
PS3; Impossible to find well after Christmas. Strong sales right out of the gate and being neck and neck, if not better than the 360, throughout most of 2007.
This is what I expected mid-2006 or so, before it began to become apparant that the wii could win, and before Sony started making some big blunders. Those predictions of mine were way of - I saw wiis in stores a handful of times throughout 2007, yet I saw numerous PS3s in stores in the weeks/days leading up to Christmas 2006.
