Its not a perfect piece but it actually does raise some interesting points. Perhaps Malstrom is following his own advice and providing substance rather than fluff, banter and hate?

Squlliam likes it bcoz Malstrom hinted at Nintendo's business failures.

No I liked it because:

A: It wasn't negative towards any party really.

B: It was shorter and more to the point, so it has a better fluff/content ratio.

C: It provides an interesting perspective outside of the recession as to why the Wii sales are thus. It doesn't mean hes right, but it does mean he raises some good points.

This and another thing: it looks like finally Malstrom discovered that in times of crisis Nintendo could use those dirty, stinking, cursed hardcore gamers whose he previously wished the extinction

The only thing that never changes is his attitude to think he's Nintendo's saviour, but we can't do anything about this, his EULA says we must accept him "as is"...    

 

Not sure if serious, but what ever.

The "hardcore" would never accept Nintendo. Nintendo should never please these people as they will never accept Nintendo, even if they did cater only to them. Also, Nintendo will be fine either way. Even without momentum, they are still whipping the floor with their competators (pretty sad actually).

Half joking, seriously speaking, but in a joking tone, as I can't really stay totally serious when Malstrom is involved.

But putting Malstrom aside, maybe hardcore PS3 and XB gamers will hate Wii forever, but a part of hardcore PC gamers could accept it, and most former Nintendo hardcores too. A lot of them already accept it as a casual complement, but they could like more hardcore Wii games too, if well done. And let's not forget that share of gamers that, whatever the platform, start as casuals, but with time start looking for harder challenges and become part-time or totally hardcore.
