And I also remember several posts stating that since "the Wii U, the follow up to the Wii, was doing this poorly, imagine how poorly the PS4 and XBO are going to do." Basically saying console gaming was dead. Look how that turned out.

You're talking about a few posts that had nothing to do with reality and no logical foundation. If you want to know what I'm talking about read the wiiu sales prediction threads. Then read the predictions for xb1 and ps4.

The consensus was that wiiu would do extremely well and it failed. With ps4 it was that it would do well and it has so far.

Everyone knew that the PS4 would do really well, even more because of the contrast with the Xbox failed announcement. It was obvious that the PS4 would take the Xbox 360 players. MS saved themselves a bit by canceling some of their previous decisions. 

 

I don't think I was active here at the time, but I remember arguing on other forums with crazy fans saying that the Wii U would do Wii numbers. It was just obvious for them that all the Wii buyers would jump on the Wii U. Kind of like some people now are counting the 3DS players as sure Switch buyers. Nothing points to it right now...
