More and more, I'm getting the feeling that Malstrom is the BruceOnGames of Nintendo.

Except Malstrom is usually right

 

Lolololol.

Select quotes from Malstrom:

"the 360 is practically destined for third place worldwide"

"20 million 360 userbase by 2011"

suggested 360 to get no 3rd party support unless MS bought out every game from every dev

All of the above preceded by the usual disclaimers "possibly "looks like" "if things continue as they are" to cover his ass, just in case.

The guy's an attack dog for Nintendo. The Wiikly archives are still up... reading his articles with the perspective of time kills all his credibility.

I know their up, I linked to them, duh, and even with his few mistakes, he's been right much more than wrong, he was right that this gen would be similar to the NES gen, as a disruptive era, he was right that Wii would make its competitors irrelevant and force them to change.  He was right that this gen would signify the end of the old market.

 

The guy has an article about "why is microsoft pulling out from the console business" and midway through it he starts with off-topic trashtalking and hatemongering. He literally oozes hate.

He's got other mistakes on his articles by the way. The only reason he correctly predicted some events wasn't because cold logic and research, it's just that he's been unapologetically backing up nintendo on everything and nintendo ended up winning the race this time. If sony had won instead, sonydefenceforce would look like genious, too.
