His latest entry has all the quality of the above, even though he manages to sell a crap load of it. Its the blog equivelent of shovelware.

I think he has a mental illness - "Bipolar disorder" because his random entries read like has suffers from it. This is all fluff and it really lacks substance.

right on

I'm curious. Could you explain beyond the metal illness why do you think that piece lack substance ?

Sure it is in the usual Malstrom style ( that someone can't stand ) but I see a lot of magical market excuse around forums even this forum. 

I believe that the problem why certain people couldn't understand Nintendo undeniable recent success isn't the difficult to understand in itself but the lack of the proper mindset to understand ( sorry for repetitions, english isn't my native language ).

PS: I found the reference to Wizard of Oz fantastic

Because for someone who seems to think he understands, he actually doesn't.

1. His posts read like a cross between a get rich quick book and cultist literature. They do not understand, while you the reader understands because you listen to me.
2. He has a propensity for creating straw man arguments to caricature people like analysts/journalists/publishers/console developers etc and then defeating them.
3. He is an "intuitive type" but without hard data that analysts have access to, he may as well sit in the lotus position and smoke his bong for all the understanding it will give him of the "market"
4. His bias is extremely evident in everything he writes. He appears to only accept information that supports his world view. In mathematics class if I get lucky and give the right answer but the method to get that answer was completely wrong, giving the correct answer doesn't matter because I still fail.

Holy Shit! I want to know what drugs this man does! Great article.

That was pretty brilliant.
