Which is what makes him a good read.
Malstrom was the only journalist/blogger to successfully predict the console war before it started, and to give clear reasons why it would play out that way. I'm sure a few people (like myself) thought Nintendo stood a chance to do well, but we certainly weren't brave enough to write about it - let alone predict the landslide sales. Malstrom's prediction is why he's relevant, and will be for the rest of the 7th generation.

This is the core of the issue, he was right on one account and so everything he says is the gospel. I disagree and see him as a John Lucas with even more bravado, everyone gets a strike now and then (especially if you flood up the channels with predictions) but that doesn't mean that whomever got it pegged is a genius and everything he/she says is a given. Just my 2 cents. And, no; this is not related to the fact that I am not a huge Wii fan, I simply find people's doting on bloggers and certain forum users ludicrous and slightly childish. Notice how said bloggers and forum users rarely or never talk about the instances where they're wrong. 
PS: This is not directed at you frybread, just the tone of this entire thread, its turning into a Malstrom fapfest as usual.
