Sure, but in their defense they were kinda guided to have those expectations by the same folks who want to be taken seriously when they say Itanium will not be killed, that Intel was getting in the mobile phones (Xscale era), was getting into HDTV, and that Atom is taking over the mobile sector before ARM gets there...
Small note, Itanium is very much alive and being actively developed.

HP has been using Itanium processors since their inception. The Itaniums have seen performance increases comparable to those of their x86 cousins.
Now, it may be on a death spiral. However, it has been said to be dead almost since its inception.
