At the dawn of the iPhone sale date, cNet published their own “Tech’s 10 most-hyped product launches“. Will the Apple iPhone break history records as the most hyped product ever? Let’s see how other products compared to this one.

The list includes eight hardwares and two software products:

1.) Segway
2.) The original Macintosh (1984)
3.) Microsoft’s XBox 360
4.) Sony PlayStastion 3
5.) Nintendo Wii
6.) Microsoft Windows 95
7.) Motorola Razr
8.) Gizmondo
9.) Sony PlayStation 2
10.) World of Warcraft (Blizzard)

While Sony got 2 of their PlayStations (with the PS2 being considered as the bes- selling video game device in history) on the list and Micrsoft took another 2, Apple only got the Macintosh. I guess the iPod and the Macbooks didn’t make as much splash when they were launched. Funny, I don’t remember Gizmondo.

With regards to the iPhone, we’ll see in the coming days.
