The most "pathetic" predictions were those that were produced by professional analysts in 2006 and 2007 ... When someone is paid to understand the market and demonstrate no knowledge of it, it is pretty pathetic

Indeed. As far as I recall, before the Wii launched, the most optimistic prediction for total lifetime sales was 30m.

And I'm sure all those people who predicted 30m are now high fiving each other until someone asks "Hey wait: you mean they're still going to keep making these things?"
