No. Despite recognized the risk, I thought it wasn't going to do so well but better than GC.. Well thought it'd be in a closer situation to the PS3 or 360 right now than the success it is having right now. I actually expected close competition between PS3 and 360 and that by the time the PS3 got lower in price it would pull away thanks to Japan and European support.
It's not that I expected the Wii to be a total bust, I just didn't think the likes of Wii Sports could capture the European audience like it did. I knew the Nintendo franchises would get Japan and a similar market in America, but I had no idea the system would take off in Europe like it did. Obviously now we are in 2010 and we expect Wii to continue these massive sales, but if you really think about it, what it has done now has really setup Nintendo for another solid 10 years as it has totally changed the market.
So in short, no I didn't expect it to be a huge success.
