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.

No. I have no idea because I would read what he wrote a few years back. I loved what he wrote at first until I saw him praising even their mistakes as genius. I kept trying to read his articles but with a more critical view from then on until I noticed there was nothing useful there. Maybe he could have changed, but it's too late for him to gain my attention.
On Patcher... OK, fanboy might not be the right word. But he has this doomsaying speech about nintendo that does not go away. Nintendo doing right or wrong does not matter. He seems to downplay the Wii in almost everything I see from him and seems to have this blindness towards what's happening in his views. Behaviour similar to a fanboy... but fanboy is just not the right word for him. Can someone find the right word for this?
