I also was a sucker for the fact that I never expected to see the 360 be as successful as it has been.......did not expect the wii to light fires under the asses of women, and just like everyone else, screamed holy shit at DQ9 going to the ds.
Sadly though, that does not kill the fact that alot of people had the expectations, or there would have been no upsets!!!
I'm not even sure what you're arguing about anymore. You've just admitted that the console generation is totally split this time, and Sony fucked up, and both the Wii and 360 have eaten into the PS3 userbase big time. With all this in mind, it totally kills the fact that anyone should have any expectations anymore. It's obvious by now that any game can and will come out on any console depending on what suits the best interests of the developer. There is no "loyalty" or "pattern" left. Monster Hunter started on the PS2, continued on to the PSP, was announced for the PS3, and STILL ended up on the Wii. And now it's selling like hot cakes on the Wii too. What does that tell you? It tells me that there are no more expectations, consumers will go where the games they want are, and they're not sitting around waiting for imaginary announcements that have not happened yet.
