Forums - Gaming - Another "analyst" that shouldn't quit his day-job, LOL!

I somehow came across this article from a few months ago and almost laughed at how uninformed and downright stupid it was. In a nutshell, this guy thought that when the 360 dropped to $199, it would outsell the Wii simply because it's cheaper. Here's part of the article

As this site has been predicting for a long time, the Xbox 360 is now $199. This is the price point at which historically 75% of consoles sell. However the 360 got to this point very early in its life, so far, far more than 75% of 360 sales are yet to happen. Currently the Wii is above the magic $199 price point, expect it to come down as predicted here. But even at a new, low price point the Wii will have difficulty in perceived value against the Xbox 360.

here's the whole thing-

I know hindsight's always 20/20 but come on.

On this link- http://seekingalpha.com/author/bruce-everiss/articles you can read many more of his amazing and insightful(sarcasm) takes on the games industry. It's obvious that he's never seen the sales data from VGchartz, or he did and just ignored it altogether.

He also seems to love the 360 and has never heard of the RROD. Here are some of his quotes regarding the 360: 

  • Elegant design enabling it to be sold at the lowest price point.
  • The biggest and best catalogue of games. More than the other two machines put together.
  • Xbox Live, by far the biggest and best online gaming portal.

Anyways, have a good laugh. I sure did

I guess this guy is more of a blogger, but he has been involved with the gaming industry for 20 years(or so he says).



Ugh.. Bruce on Games... He actually said that SSBB sold bad cause it was number 36 or something like that in the UK charts... http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/01/27/super-smash-brosbrawl-and-the-fanboys/#comments ...good times... :D



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

It's Bruce on Games. He has said dumber things than this. Just take comfort in the fact that somebody has found a reason to employee him.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Ahhh sweet old Bruce on Games. He's the perfect incarnation of the term delusional.



Signature goes here!

man, I just gave Bruce on games another hit, I should have just trusted my gut that it must be him.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
