Gotta love the Joe Schmo(s) trying to be analysts on the internet.

     I'm no Joe Schmo.  I've been following gaming since the seventies.  And I have degrees in English literature, psychology, philosophy, and history. 

Which automatically means I'm a good resource for gaming analysis.

What qualifications do you think gaming analysts must possess?  I'd say given his broad gaming experience combined with his literary skills is more than enough to justify him as being capable of structuring a strong analysis of any given gaming scenario.  I will go one step further though and say he's probably a hell of a lot more qualified than most gaming journalists and analysts.

Actually, he can't make a strong analysts. His focus is on literature of all things. Literature in adedemia has never focus on how people write books or how consumers buy them, but them as "art." Becuase of this, he wont know anything about consumers or markets. He is just not trained in that. If we wants to give us a cultural analysts on metal gear Solid 4, then OK. But he porbably can't give a good reason why X game will sell or not.

The degree you need is going to be in business or to actually work in an entertainment industry (outside of print). Accounting, Finance, and Economic are good too. Statistical knowledge never hurt either.

(Not saying he doesn't know this stuff. I am basing this argument 100% of the degree and taking the opposite stance from slowmo)
