Sorry but I just hate that kind of fallacy, to pretend that someone has no credibility because it happens to like something is just wrong, this guy is super down to earth and reasonable it deserves to be listen and not judged for the games behind him.
Of course some thing cannot be spinned and of course there are problems, but Jim was unreasonable in a bunch of points, and it may be his character instead of his person but his characters is supposed to be dead serious when talking about this kind of criticism and people take his word about it like it was dead serious, and some of the criticism is hyperbolic, nitpicking or based on assumptions.
In any case that video was not made to discredit him but to give other perspective to the most questionable arguments. I also listened to Total Biscuit analysis and I agree with 90% of what he said, way more than with Jim this time tbh.

It's not even a fallacy. I just explained to you that there can be different sources of information from parties that are for something and those that are neutral or even undecided. I also told you that I listened to all 3 gents videos with their own points and pov's in general. All I was trying to say is that it doesn't do one's pov justice, when all they are going to do is link a soruce that favors their own side more than the side of being neutral, or at elast trying to stay in the middle, you know for those like me who are deciding on getting the device?.
I've already heard what people, who are already sold and even pre-ordered the Switch think of it. That kind of done and dusted, decided information doesn't do anything for me. It doesn't present a clearer picture to me at all. It just tells me that 1. A guy is a fan of what he loves and 2. They are damn well going to argue in favor of what they love more so than they would with the faults, or at elast to a degree where they argue that there are way more pros than cons, basically going back to just higher praise, something that really doesn't help someone like me at all in deciding to buy it or not.
Saying Jim is being "unreasonable " may as well have you labeling me and everyone else having shared issues as being "silly" and wholly "unreasonable". it's so easy at the end of the day to be sold on something and to argue for it, to dismantle the undecided opinions or those who never intended to first, than towards ones own opinion. It's far easier to just say I'm unreasonable, that I should "get with the program" and get with your pov, than for you to understand mine. That's where things start to deteriorate, because people like me who are undecided are being labeled as "unreasonable" or "Silly" before we've even come to a decision, and yet the fans, the ones sold on the device, the ones who bought it before it's even released are somehow the right ones, the ones full of righteous wisdom and unbiased clarity.
Let me tell you that people who follow that chap you linked, take his word for what he says and slag off Jim regardless, so really if anything, he ahs his own little follwers that take his word for gospel, thus making him no different, besides the way he talks and acts (and displays his clear liking for a particular console above others). #
I never said his video was to discredit Jim's, but his general stance is to basically disable what Jim has already said, to turn things around in a more favored viewpoint. Like he did with his Borderlands 3 Switch video for example (even though we all hate Randy's guts regardless). What are the chances of you ever agreeing with Jim in the future btw?, because if you dislike what he's saying about Nintendo, then chances are you won't want to listen to him in the future (hopefully not listening to the times he slags off the other companies and agreeing with those points, but disagreeing with just the Nintendo points, because that would tell another story altogether).
