We've seen far worse from industry analysts this cycle. I think he was pretty even-handed with the 360, though others have pointed out that his numbers were based on shipped to retailers, rather than sold to consumers, which is what we track here. The 360 actually sold more units to consumers in 2007 than it did in 2006. This also means that the 360 didn't actually sell 10 million units in 2006, though.
2007 may very well have been the peak year for 360. Even if 2008 software releases rival 2007 in terms of quality, the gulf between the 360's library and those of the Wii and PS3 is almost certain to narrow. It's too soon to call, but it's a plausible prediction.
