Two years ago, this same analyst -- Ed Barton -- predicted that the PS3 would be on top and the Wii a distant third.

Two/Three years ago every analyst predicated the PS3 would be in first and the Wii would be in last.  That was the most likely scenario of the time.  The Nintendo Wii's success wasn't something most people expected. 

In fact, most everyone "predicting" the Wii's success at the time were the kooks who always bet against the majority for everything desperately hoping to win the virtual lottery with one lucky prediction among dozens (who also probably bet on the Gamecube as well).
