So far I've seen multiple pages of people who can only attack the messenger, but not the message. I believe that is the point he is trying to drive home. I don't think he cares what you think about him personally, its the point that even Nintendo's biggest fans have a hard time actually defending many of the points he, and many others, have levied against them.

I remember the time with all those threads about the switch how awesome its going to be, how it will get every 3 party game ect. and now after the reveal there are gone, I start to miss them.

And then we can also read the Wii U release threads, when "there was no way the Wii U would sell less than 50 or even 70M".

 

Majority of this forum is even less credible than Colin, but hey, it's so much easier to make fun of him. But it would surely be a lot funnier to read what the people posting here thought back then.

Hes right on alot of points.



is anyone going to actually address the points he makes or is attacking him for other things/predictions the only retort you have?

he comes across as someone i'd like to punch in the face, personally, but i cant say i disagree with much of what he said, so id rather see others actually address those points and say why hes wrong rather than "oh he said x about vita and y about 3ds and that was wrong so hes wrong now too", that isn't an argument, that's a copout.

The article was posted in October 2011. At that point in time it was already known that the Vita wouldn't get Monster Hunter. Launch lineup was known. Price was known. The competition (Nintendo) was known.

At that point anyone who wasn't a complete Sony fanboy could tell that the Vita would not outsell the 3DS.

It's ridiculous that you even try to defend him as someone who is credible. Your first post started by saying that he is a Nintendo fan when the evidence we have points towards a PS fanboy. He's not just biased, he's incredibly biased. Hence why his Vita prediction was so off.

Has games journalism ever been that unbiased? He worked for IGN's Playstation division. The playstation-centric spin should be obvious. The same goes when you read from their Xbox or Nintendo divisions. They all have their own teams, they all write console centric articles. It's what IGN is known for, where fanboys go to be appeased in their echochambers.

But furthermore, should I go out then and find all those articles from Joystiq or Polygon from all of those other credible journalists that raved about how great the Wii U was going to do, and just ignore everything they say until the end of time? The fact remains that you're shredding him over one article he posted about the potential of the vita before it was released as if that means anything. Great. He bought into the Vita hype and got it very wrong once. It doesn't mean he's wrong about everything forever.

the problem is not what he thinks about the vita, the problem is that he needs to downplay one system to say that the vita was going to be better on everything.  For him, the vita was going to be better than the 3ds because the vita was more powerful and had more games, and 3ds had the same franchises over and over and Nintendo was not doing anything new for the system while uncharted on a portable device was the biggest thing ever. He does the same thing when he speaks about microsoft, so clearly you can see that his personal taste interferes with his journalist skills.

 I don't see Jose Otero talking crap about sony to praise Nintendo. And he's not the only one, the industry is full of biased dudes for every console. My problem with that is that as a journalist you're trying to control the thoughts of others when you're in a position that you should try to be subjective. NOW, as a youtuber he can be free and have a playstation channel and that's ok,  when you see his channel now you know that he's giving you his point of view based on his tastes.

We already knew about the bad Nintendo moves before his video: bad price, dull launch (aside of Zelda), paid online, etc.

 

Nothing that he says is new. We've been disscussing this since a week ago. That does not change the fact that his opinion is worthless.

So, "his opinion is worthless but he's right". Noted.

His opinion is not right. He is just repeating what everyone else is disscussing for a week. But of course, not everyone act as bad as him or try to make a video to look for attention.

It's his job to talk about video games news. So you want him either to shut up because you don't like him, or to say something intentionally wrong (what nobody has said so far) to be different and worthy of your attention?

 

Right. Can we also do that to forum's users who have been wrong before, because their opinion is clearly worthless and they post to look for attention?

How is his opinion not right if he is saying what everyone has been discussing (and for the most part agree with)? You can't just say his opinion is wrong because you don't like him.

You're making no sense.
