Rob Enderle is an “analyst” best known for being wrong 100% of the time about everything he writes regarding Apple.  Insanely, he keeps being quoted by lazy journalists in the press, and maintains his job analyzing everything wrong.

His newest whopper doesn’t involve Apple.  Nope, it takes on the Wii.  Here, he suggests how Toshiba might have won the high def DVD war:

Second, Toshiba should have worked with Nintendo to ensure it could fulfill Wii demand, holding down PS3 sag connected to the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive to ensure higher attach rates and better ramp that product while enhancing the value of the Xbox 360.

In other words, Blu Ray got to be so powerful because people couldn’t buy a Wii, so they bought a PS3, instead, with its Blu Ray capabilities.

Yeah, my jaw dropped when I read this one, too.  That’s a pretty impressive leap of logic there, defying any reality.
