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 think the backlash is a reaction to the OP and others saying what a genius this guy is, and you just said "he is by far the most intelligent gaming "analyst" ... theres certainly no proof in that post of his! He is just ranting and speculating, igoring facts and picking whatever suits the point of his article. Dude, he might as well be masterbating about Nintendo! :p

I mean he can write and we can all have fun reading and discuss it, but please, stop gushing about him, hes no genius and its insulting to say that he is, unless he is 5 years old, then yeah, we should all bow before him.


How many analysts saw Wii winning back in 2006 as well as changing the gaming landscape? Because he did.
