There are a lot of blind mobile game zealots out there that do now.   But for any consoel gamers that liked him back when he bashed Wii, they don't follow him anymore.  He's burned that bridge too.  

Had 2 debates with him today because he claimed he iPad would sell better than Vita as proof that iPad was a better games platform and athat all boxed retail should be ended today.  

Lol I love my last post in that thread.

Nice to know, even the pros have to deal with fanboys.

Honestly, it is okay for analysts to be wrong but Bruceongames and (to a lesser extent) Pachter's big mistake is they never re-evaluate their internal model in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence. It would be one thing if their analysis was expectations of performance in the long run (what will the industry will look like 5 to 10 years from now) because you can claim that current sales performance doesn't matter towards long term sales performance; but both these analysts were often making short term predictions (6 to 18 months away) while ignoring current sales figures.

To use a parallel situation ... I have doubts about how strong Apple will be 5 to 10 years from now, and I think that Apple stock may well be at or near its peak, but it would be moronic to assume that Apple phones and tablets will not be the dominant seller at Christmas.
