So he must feel like Malstrom. The only difference is that Pachter is paid better. 

Nintendo pissed in Pachter's cereal. He, and most of the industry, bet heavily against Nintendo this generation, and they are suffering for it. Like an injured animal, Pachter is lashing out.

I will use this as an example

(This is is no way meant to disparage other games or other systems, many of these games are fantastic. Also, a number of these do in fact outsell Wii Music when using combined totals, although many do not. I am simply trying to point out how, an industry that many people thought they knew and understood, got turned on it's head. When this happens, people who are involved financially tend to act like whiny little children, throwing tantrums and spewing gibberish.)

Wii Music, a game that performed so badly for Nintendo that they stopped producing it a little more than a year after they released it sold more than...

On the PS3 -

-Killzone 2

-God of War 3 (probably won't end up that way, but is currently 600k behind)

-Fallout 3

-Batman:AA

-Resistance 2

-Street Fighter 4

-inFamous

-Heavy Rain

-Battlefield: BC2

-[Prototype]

-Dragon's Age: Origins

-MAG

... and Dead Space, Bayonetta, Demon's Souls, and Beatles: Rock Band combined. (not the entire list, just the last 4)

On the 360 -

-Left 4 Dead

-Left 4 Dead 2

-Forza 3

-Bioshock

-Mass Effect

-Mass Effect 2

-Crackdown

-Borderlands

-The Orange Box

-The Saboteur

-Beautiful Katamari

... and Brutal Legend, Darksiders, Just Cause 2, and Mirror's Edge combined (Again, just the last 4)

As an analyst, he missed a serious opportunity to make a lot of people a lot of money. Nintendo's stock went from a low point of $8.85 during the Gamecube days, to a high of $76.87 in the end of 2007 (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=NTDOY.PK+Basic+Chart&t=5y).

When something like that happens, it only makes sense to ask this highly paid analyst if he deserves his salary. After all, in a horse race between three competitors, even a monkey has a 33% chance of guessing the winner. He's got to tell these people something.

Same shit, different day.

He's consistently been wrong about Nintendo.. just like he is now.

Maybe he eats too much?

Since everything Pachter says is the opposite of what really happen then Nintendo will have an exciting E3

I want patcher to talk about ps3 and xbox 360 software....
I wonder what he would say....... :l

Isn't this the guy who says things and then they turn out to be the opposite of what they actually are in the final outcome? If so, we're in for one sweet E3 this year.

Pretty much, his predictions at times can be so out of touch you'd think he's smoking something powerful, I'd personally feel sorry for any stock holders who buy his analysis' and take his advice.

Pachter's "analysis" has degenerated into nothing but poorly written comedy routines.

Somebody please remind me why Pachter is relevant at all to this industry, or why he's even an "analyst" in the first place?!?
