| Metallicube said: I will never understand all the backlash against malstrom. It seems like people argue against him just for the sake of arguing against him. I have seen very few good arguments going against malstrom.. Just the usual "blah blah blah he's an arrogant retro gamer or nintendo fanboy or nobody analyst." I mean sure I don't agree with the guy 100%, and he can take certain things too far, but he is by far the most intelligent gaming "analyst" out there if you want to call him that. Hell he's possibly the most intelligent gaming journalist out there, at least that I've come across. |
I'll take this quote for you:
but he is by far the most intelligent gaming "analyst" out there.
Everyone dont even knew gaming analyst means. pachter was analyst he I think even analyzed the gaming trends. but believe me, Malstrom aint even in league with pachter. Im reading articles and opinions made by pachter for the LULZ but Malstrom takes it seriously. I tell this but Pachter's opinions didnt reflect on his real job. Companies didnt invest on pachter's prediction(which private and only known by his clients and him) for nothing. I even bet Nintendo of america was Pachter's client we never know.
its like this; if we shipped MK wii at that number what profit will our company have? Including the shipment expenses and packaging. Will we making profit even with the recession? Pachter predicts it can malstrom do that?
AGAIN, because its Pachter's opinions doesnt mean we have to take it seriously. He even do it just for the LULZ and now he is popular. Seem core gamers like us caught with his act and ride with it. Malstrom was different. Simply because he cite another market analysts works(which BTW basic for Pachter right now I even think its the first to teach in marketing class) he is the known knowledgeable guy that cna predict everything.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
