Actually, he said they're too late to catch the HD wave, but that the Wii U will also be very successful anyway. So they're not too late, but they'll still fail just the same.

Which is still wrong, as the only wave was from graphics whores (which included game developers), not the public. And they haven't gotten past that, so it's not too late to catch the wave from developers.

The public is another matter (falling stocks, when they rose after E3 2006).

But fell after E3 2005, which is the better E3 to compare this to

No, because almost no information was given about the next system then, not even the controller, and no announced games. Both of which was not the case here, and there were system demonstrations, which was also present at E3 06.

What made you think this was more comparable to E3 05?

Lack of real software and the console's imminent release, crippling lack of details and confusion about where the device is headed, all of which were present at E3 2005 (which predated the reveal of the controller. In this case they had the opposite problem with too much emphasis on the controller and not enough on the device itself)
