If you look at the titles for his articles you can see the guy's agenda pretty clearly...

-PlayStation 3, Doomed to 3rd Place?
-Xbox 360, The Easy Win?
-Wii, Can it be Stopped?

 

The headlines accurately reflect the facts in the analyses. PS3 is in trouble, 360 is in the lead and positioned for a big push if MS pulls the trigger, and Wii does appear to be a juggernaut. If he has an agenda, he's fortunate that it is so well aligned with reality.

There is more than just fact in his analysis.  He speculates about a lot of things.  I don't think MS could "pull the trigger" and match the Wii for sales anytime soon.  Perhaps MS could compete, on the short term, with the Wii in America but not over a long period.  Chances are the Wii will surpass the 360 for US sales in late 2008 or before mid 2009.
