oh god its that Malesworm guy again , i just don't know why people are religiously following him, the definition of taking the internet too seriously....

He is the only video game analyst who looks at the numbers and analyzes them in a practical, sensible way. If you know of any other analyst who is as good as Malstrom, then I am more than interested.

Anita Frazier, Michael Pachter and their ilk just make unfounded assertions to stay in the headlines, henceforth staying relevant and push the trite and old "casual vs. hardcore" meme when they are proven incorrect.

What will be interesting is how Malstrom will change his tune in the next generation if Nintendo is in 2nd or 3rd place. Will he become a detractor of the top dog or will he be a front runner who all of a sudden hails Sony or Microsoft as "disruptors" when his library of articles from 2006 were detracting them?

Malstrom is a fanboy, not an analyst. Remember that he is mostly a fanboy. Just because he knows how to convince people with his writing does not mean he's an analyst. His fanboy-ism has been shown time and time again by his stance that "Nintendo can do no wrong" and "Nintendo can do no evil".

 

Note that I also think Pachter is a fanboy first and an analyst second. Just because he actually is an analyst doesn't hide his anti-nintendo views. He is blinded by his fanboyism and that is why he can't see things objectively.

Do you have any idea how often he has criticized Nintendo in the past year? Tu put it simply you are wrong.

At OP, this article is fairly old, and by that I think two years.
