It's true that dedicated game devices are beginning to look beaten by the dominance of smart-phones and tablets. Certainly, 3DS and Wii U do not, at the moment, look anything like as promising as DS and Wii did a few years back during their heyday. 

Noone expected the Revolution to even be a success in anyway. What is he talking about here?

True even Wii and DS didn’t look promising at the beginning  

That's not entirely true. The DS didn't look so promising at the beginning, it's fortunes went way up in 2006. But the Wii looked promising from the beginning, at least to everyone besides the game industry. In fact, Nintendo shares jumped to their highest value since 2001 in 2006 on the day when they fully unveiled the Wii.

Well no one believed it would be the top selling console but that it would do better than GC. Even when it was selling huge amounts of consoles people thought it was a fad and that sales would fall very fast.
