The companies end up buying a lot of overpriced exotic stuff like Sun servers. Then, later when only 10 people per day show up, this exotic hardware is basically running idle. With some sites it would not be because of an illusion but because of peek demand vs. average demand. It might occasionally need many times the average throughput, so if the server is bought to meet projected peek demand, it will be mostly idle much of the time even if the projections are accurate.
