There is no evidence that Sean Malstrom give’s a rat’s ass about video games or has ever played one. His essays are about business models, not game design. His style his certainly not everybody’s cup of tea and if you don’t like him don’t read him.
You can always read dry as a bone Michael Pachter, who is getting better now, though he was dead wrong reading this generation for a long time. He is now, according to Kokatu where he is idolized, right a whole 60% of the time. The other experts are doing worse, a majority batting less than 50% and well know Billy Pidgeon getting it right almost 20% of the time. There are your analysts with all the facts. Crap, I’ve been more accurate than that and I don’t have any data to work from.
You’re welcome to your opinion but to me Sean Malstrom has a lively and entertaining fresh style if occasionally over the top and a frustrating habit of actually understanding the market and how it works and I’m damn sure he’s batting way over 60% especially if you go back to the beginning when all of the experts would almost always forget to mention Nintendo at all as a contender and it they did it was only to predict certain disaster
