No one thought that the 3DS would dominate anything, yet now it certainly seems like it is set to do that. Has done very well this year.

What are you talking about?  Plenty of people thought it could dominate and perform like the DS.  Even a few months ago people were still championing the "selling faster than the DS" mantra despite it only being true in the US, and even then only because it hadn't hit the 2006 holidays yet.

Last year (in the prediction thread) only 3 people predicted lower than the actual sales.  And when I say lower, it was 14m/14m/13m, compared to 14.4 million sales.  Compared to 57 people expecting higher sales.  28 of them expecting 20 million or more.  Even for this year, the average prediction is 15.66 million.  If the 3DS manages to blow things out of the water this holiday, there will still be at least a few who predicted higher.

The 3DS hasn't even hit a single one of Nintendo's forecasts.  I don't know where you get the impression that every single person thought the 3DS would do worse than it is.
