From what I understand, as a financial advisor, he's quite good. If he weren't, he wouldn't be employed at such a high level, period.
People think his primary job is making these far-reaching predictions in the media but that's only a minor aspect. His real job is advising clients where they should or shouldn't put their money, which is far more nuanced than fanboys talking about who is "winning" the console wars.
As an internet media celebrity? He's employed because he's entertaining and he's good in front of a camera. Pach Attack is a lot of fun. He also has certain groups of fanboys wrapped around his finger, which generates a lot of exposure and revenue. I don't always agree with him but I love the way he trolls.
