Woah, Amirox has zero Nostradamus-skills, he should try to get Pachter's job. I hope he's still in shape after eating so much crow.
I'm sure he's somewhat embarrassed but that honestly seems like it came from a place of frustration with Sony and trends at the time, rather than a pure prediction. I know many were switching over to 360 and I had one at first too to play Gears, but I was perfectly fine with my PS3 shortly after, and I knew I wasn't alone in the world lol.
The doom and gloom was very dramatic online on forums for Sony, but it's likely because PS was so dominant the previous generations, and not because Sony was just sucking so much. Early days on PS3 weren't even that bad, I remember Stardust, pixel junk monsters, VF5, Resistance, folklore and motor storm. Then MGS4 came and PS3 had a nice uptake.
