This is probably true in terms of numbers, but Orson Scott-Card is by no means a bitter failed author striking out at someone successful. I haven't researched this, but in terms of books I'm pretty sure he has had more best-sellers than she has.

I've read pretty much all of his books except the short stories and they are generally much deeper than anything related to Harry Potter because they have a different target audience. I've also met him and have a signed copy of Ender's Game

Anyway, agree with him or not, but credibility as a successful author he definitely has.
