Gaming Analysts, how good are they?.. lets take a look back at their assessments and predictions then fast forward to where we are now.

Console gaming will never overshadow the PC gaming market.

Dreamcast would win over PS2 because it had a years head start and was cheaper then the PS2.

Xbox was going to slaughter the PS2

They said Game cubes low price would push it to the forefront of the console wars.

They predicted PS3 at 800 -1200 dollars.

Next the PS3 is going to win this round of the console wars (while they were expecting the ridiculous price).

Then we wouldnt have playable PS3 games at E3 and the price wouldnt be revealed until TGS.

Now that they have the price and say its not as high as we thought but its still a little steep, thats when they turn around and say they are unsure of or doubt the PS3s future success.

after all of the bad predictions why are people still listening to them?

IMHO, i dont they are looking at things from the perspective of gamers anymore. I dont mean the self proclaimed "l337" or "hardcore gamers" i mean the intermediate gamers. The ones who carry the system after the launch frenzies are over.

Well, this is my first post. Nothing to really post atthe moment at 2:23 AM...Stay Tuned
