Hilarious wrong predictions

I remember most of us laughing our asses off when Nintendo unveiled the Wii for the first time. We were like, okay, so you fail miserably with the Gamecube, and your answer is this nonsense? Are you kidding? We were all but certain this would be the end of the company.

Then we saw all the people stampeding over each other to play it at that years E3 and... well... crow meet mouth.

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.

I absolutely was not in this camp. Actually, the only reason I’m here at VGC was that I was convinced the Revolution, later the Wii, was going to do well and I wanted to find a place that tracked the numbers. I actually don’t remember that many naysayers around here at the time. 

You should have gone over to Gamewinners forums, then. It was a whole different ballgame over there lol.
