Sometimes posts just write themselves. Such is the case with this latest edition of Captain Obvious. I think we can all agree analysts are pretty ... well, useless. Usually, they spout off things we all already know or something so outlandish that only a person who really wasn't in touch with "real gamers" would say. Take a look at what this genius said (what's even worse is that gaming biz sites like this continue to feed the useless beast):
The continued shortages of the Nintendo Wii could mean that potential consumers will lose interest in a product they cannot easily buy, according to IDC's Billy Pidgeon.
Oh my God, really? What fancy Ivy League school did you attend to be able to come up with that gem?
The analyst also believes that rival next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft are lacking strong software support, which could lead to a loss of market share during the second quarter of 2007.
No way! Wow, I feel so much smarter now. Thanks Billy Pidgeon! And thank you GamesIndustry for the idiotic news filler and Captain Obvious nod!

The only analyst that I respect, more or less, is Pachter.
LOL@ anylists though, they honestly could of looked on the innernet for like 2 minutes instead of paying some douche.
I think that the interest in the Wii will subside a little over the summer, but come holidaze 2007 they'll be sold out again. Just like Tickle Me Elmo.
They should be forced to wear clown shoes to work.
I attack them every chance I get.
In a related note...I couldn't think of anything funny to add.
..and also makes up for the "news" post beneath it. :P
Nintendo being kid-friendly? HOLY SHIT!^&%@#%! Summa's got talent from God on loan.
Nice work. Keep it up.
Nope? You're right, every single one of you could do their jobs and earn $70,000 a year for sitting on your thumbs and reading newspapers. I lose.
