Hilarious wrong predictions

I also believe there were more than a fair share of people predicting the DS's demise because Sony had entered the picture with what seemed to be the PS1 situation all over again (better tech, disc-based media etc). That didn't work out so well, either. Although in the end, the PSP did finish respectably.

It was the common consensus at the time. DS was mocked for being seen as the next Virtual Boy and images like this popped up online.

EGM predicted that the PSP would slaughter the DS. I mean, Nintendo was low-key worried about it as well. That's why they went out of their way to position the DS as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, the Game Boy line.

A year or so later, with the DS riding high on Nintendogs, EGM posted an article saying "we were wrong."
