"However, he fails to realize that games with hordes of fanboys, sell boatloads of copies."
No, I believe he is very aware of this fact and so are most of the people here. All of us know that Mario has a ton of fanboys and we take this knowledge into account when individually determining what we think is the correct value of that stock.
I don't think The simExchange is supposed to be a sample of opinions that is supposed to represent the entire gaming population. What it is supposed to be is a group of people objectively determining the opinions of the gaming population. We don't need fanboys here to represent the fanboys in the gaming population because the rest of us take them into account when determining a stock's value.
When people simply buy stocks of games they like, they stuff up the system and stock values move away from representing the opinions of the gaming popuation and towards representing the opinions of the simExchange population.

That's how I view the issue, at least.
