This thread is long enough that I won't copy and paste in all of what I wrote here on Gmaxwell's talk page, but those following this thread might want to read it and copy out bits and comment. While writing that, I managed to identify what was really bugging me about this article, namely that it seems to me to be a prime example of recentism.
""Recentism is the tendency by Wikipedians to edit articles without regard to long-term historical perspective, or to create new articles which inflate the importance and effect of an issue that has received recent media attention. Established articles become skewed towards documenting controversy as it happens...""
It is particularly difficult, in my opinion, to judge the long-term notability of a current product. It's a difficult problem, and maybe the only thing to do is come back in 5 years time and see what the verdict of history has been on this product.  "
