I still don't get why everyone counted Nintendo out b4 the generation even started, despite the sort of flop of the 64/GC, Nintendo does know a thing or two about gaming, so counting them out just seemed silly.

Because often analysts can predict only known ways or trends and not a disruptive product.

in EVERY industry the competitors tend to make incremental improvements over the years and stick to the old ways since 'they always worked before'

then someone comes along and changes the industry and many of the old players refuse to change and get blown out of the water

this is nothing new

Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

It took around 2-3 generations of iPods before the analysts would even recognize its dominance.

Don't let current numbers fool you. Industry professionals know how it will end.

These analysts and industry professionals initial predictions are so far off that the Wii has already passed their lifetime sales whilst the PS3 and XBox 360 are selling dramatically slower than the pace they predicted.

Sorry, I guess I should've bolded, underlined, or italicized "know."
