He's someone that predicted the Wii success before it happened, and therefore Nintendo fans at first thought he was brilliant and posted everything he said, but now it seems that he was just lucky in one instance that his own feelings about something matched what actually ended up having, not that he's a brilliant analytical mind.
We had a similar situation on these forums with a user named Jon Lucas who predicted the Wii's massive success and then everyone thought he was a pretty much prophetic. He then went on to totally squander that by making heavily skewed predictions that were more what he wanted to happen than what was likely (MGS4 will never release on PS3, PS3 will be dead in 6 months in 2008 iirc) so again it was a case of someone who's personal biases just happened to match reality in one instance. Broken clock is right twice a day and all that.
