You don't get it. But hey you are posting Malstrom... I should have known.

Ok, let's put it in a simpler way: Malstrom is unapologetically backing Nintendo on everything, which includes saying "they'll win!". It turns out Nintendo won, so in retrospect it makes him look good. He didn't acurately predict anything, he was just doing his pr job for nintendo and boy it happened that Nintendo won. Sonydefenseforce does the same Malstrom does... if the ps3 would have won, sonydefenseforce would in retrospect look good too. Got it now?

There is a difference between a prediction, and an analysis. 

Anyone can pull random sales numbers out of his mind, vgchartz forum members are espcially good at it. 

But the actual winning for a console is not random. There are reasons for it, and Malstrom gave these reasons. His theory of the Wii following a disruptive strategy was later confirmed by both Scott Anthony, disruption expert, and Iwata.

A year ago, he wrote how Nintendo is responding to expected Sony and Microsoft motion controllers, and a few days ago, Iwata told that he expected these a year ago.

This is analysis.  

It is better if someone's numbers are a bit off, but the analysis makes sense, than randomly picking up the winner. 

 

Wow, I forgot about that part.

I remember reading a horrible NY post article where the writer who was analyzing the Obama speach in Cairo went so far as to quote the word "The" after asserting that Obama was anti-america basically.

I may be un-American, but at least I respect my president off topic I know. ^_^

My point is context.
