Everything seems obvious on a hindsight. There were a lot of people here that thought WiiU would be the best selling console of the generation or that PS4 would fail to pass PSVita and Sony would close the door. Are all of the them fanboys?

Even people here who dislike Nintendo predicted massive success for Wii U, despite the obvious signs. That's because Wii won last generation. People tend to just assume that current trends will continue indefinitely.

Colin, though, had no reason for predicting Vita would outsell 3DS other than being a Sony fanboy. Not only did the market signs point in the opposite direction, but PSP had sold 70M less than DS in the preceding generation. Niether the short-term nor long-term trends favored Vita.

I didn't see the reasoning he made and don't even care. I just pointed that his market reading doesn't necessarily makes him a fanboy (but from the other things people talked here seems like he is).
