It still gives me lots of revenue. I should have posted his articles earlier, since fame articles atract much more attention. The article I took almost one hour to idealize and write barely got three pages of posts, while this has spanned for over nine pages. It is sad but it is true.

Amen, brother.  I once made a thread (a few, actually) that took forever to come up with.  I made bulletpoints and spent almost a whole day at work plotting how it would go.  I get home and post it on VGChartz and it gets maybe 10 replies!  But then I post something like "let's turn movie titles into porn titles!" and it lasts for a dozen pages.  It's heartbreaking.

Ah Malstrom.....you butthurt little fanboy.

Its sad that someone like this can be a "analyst"

Regardless of what you think is wrong with Malstrom, and yes I do think some things are def. wrong, he is a relevant analyst simply for the fact that no one else out there is saying and shedding light on what he brings up.

Whether dramatized or exagerated it does not matter because the underlying point/conclusion is what is unique and fresh.  What would be horrible is if the environment of video game analyzing was made up of only one or a few people.  Each analyst has a bias (like news), some large, some small.  But what makes a healthy environment for analysis is when we gain a sort of nuetral element by including people of all angles and slants.

I personally try to look at everything that is going on out there, and that's one reason I like this site and forums like these.

*As a tip, Malstrom, not being a professionally licensed analyst, is best interpretted as a whole, not by one article alone.  He can do that because he's just an interesting guy with a blog.  I'd demand a more formalized argument from a professional analyst if they bear that title.

This its not a joke? Mmmmmmm well in that case its make me laugh even more now, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!

From Microsoft PR:

To have 2 Kinect exclusive games in the top 10 best selling games of the month is impressive. Do you realize how hard it is for a new game console to get 1 title into the NPD top ten after only 3 months on the market? 

3 months after release Dance Central and Kinect Sports are currently selling better in the US than Fable 3, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Halo Reach, Gran Turismo 5, and many other big franchises on Xbox 360 and PS3. Pretty significant achievement.

Microsoft has gained money on 360 even though the spent over 1 billion on RROD repairs. So imo its preformence is pretty good. I mean, its not even selling in Japan and in "others" its only selling in Europe and not Asia and Africa like PS3. Still it will probably outsell the PS3 this year and the PS3 does have more and better exclusives.

It never ceases to amaze me how a lot of people desperately defend everything Malstrom says, no matter how silly it is. He's been slowly decomposing as a writer and "analyst" and has now reached the ripe state, this article is pure tosh from beginning to end and is very obviously the work of an angry man who is displeased that games and concepts he does not approve of are doing well and that the industry never took the turn he wanted and said that it would. He is being the thing he hates the most; an enraged fanboy who throws tantrums when things aren't going his way.

In regards to your last sentence; I can't believe that people WANT games like Wii Fit or Carnival Games or Cooking Mama but they still sell and it is of no consequence to me. No one is forcing me to play them.

You are attacking Kinect like others have attacked the Wii for years, something you have scorned them greatly for. Keep your wits about you.

Oh I just said 10 MILLION (Wow that's great sales!) sometime this year, as in by March perhaps.......but if you're talking TOTAL this year by Dec. 31st, well dang that's a much much bigger number like 15-20 Million without breaking a sweat.  Everybody should Kinect/Connect with something Fun!

Sales are dropping every week, even if they stopped dropping now it'd only manage 4 million in this year, but they are still dropping and I don't see anything that will bring it up in time
