Everyone writing things, nobody responding to what he actually said. He said something completely non-controversial. He said it is tracking 8m, so 20m will be very hard to sell without a price drop. Tracking is a linear projection, and he's right.

He never made a prediction for 8m sales, he said it is currently tracking 8m. He made no prediction. Just suggests that 20m is very unlikely.

I get what you are saying, but I disagree with you. Yes, OP posted an article from a biased source that disagrees with Pachter. Pachter must very well know that the Switch is on track to sell much more than 8 million units in the fiscal year.

Words were twisted, etcetera, etcetera, but surely when determine what a system is tracking to sell, one would take into account months of the year that typically sell five times what other months do.
