Er, which predictions I have made have been horrible? By definition they cannot be as horrible as yours, simply because they remain within the realm of possibility.
It's rather your way of writing. For example (just one of many) you wrote Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the patriots would be on the 360 today with 100% certainty. You left no room for people thinking otherwise (making them look stupid in the process), a non fanboy version of such comments would have been if you stated you thought this was likely to happen.
with no substantial graphical advantage emerging between the Xbox 360 and PS3
The graphical aspect is just one of many. For example the God of war Collection on the PS3 will look graphically better than on the PS2, but there are many things in God of War 3 which simply cannot be accomplished on the PS2, this more regards game design such as environment complexity, amount of things on screen, etc.
With already HDTV resolutions, 7.1 surround audio, etc IMO the latter technical aspects as mentioned above with regard to game design matter much more to me. For example Crysis looks best on a PC, but someone can prefer the 360/PS3 versions, it's basically the same game engine, but you simply couldn't accomplish this type of game on a Wii or PS2.
