* Nintendo announces the Wii, and shows the remote, and everyone goes WTF? and laughs it off.  It is panned as beyond stupid, it looks like a TV remote and so on.  Then, Microsoft and Nintendo get into motion control and everyone goes nuts over it.

Uh, your memory is terrible. E3 2006 was the first E3 where Nintendo had the remote (it had been announced the year prior sometime in the fall but without games), and there was a mad rush to play Wii. Meanwhile PS3 was openly mocked for the price point, Riiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaacer and Giant Enemy Crab.

True, and yet all the analysts still managed to be completely wrong.
