In 2005, I can see the analysts getting it wrong, not having the complete picture. But, you know, two of those articles were from August 2006, the other two from July 2006. By that time, the E3 has already debuted the Wii to a stampede, and Sony had already announced its all-or-nothing price.
If the analysts knew the market, they would have known the market's reaction to that unbelievably high price (and the market was already reacting). Sony should have known too, if they'd done any research into their true market. I half wonder if the analysts were just listening to their kids go on and on about the PS3, and slamming the Wii due to its name. I knew nothing about the market at the time, but I predicted the Wii would be the top selling toy for Christmas in 2006 all from video footage of the E3.
