Cut the last two words from his quote and I think that would pretty much cover it.

Pachter seems to get a lot of shit for no good reason. He's an analyst, not a fortune teller. He's not always right. It's unrealistic to expect him to be always right. Really he's no different than many of us on the forums, it's just that he is a professional in the field. Perhaps that's why he's so hated irrationally. People are jealous of him.

I'd say he's more of a fortuneteller than an analyst. At least in the sense that if he's ever right, it's completely by accident.

and yet he's ranked as one of the best analysts in the world

I'm not totally sure whether CVG have manipulated what he said, but I thought he always just said RDR wouldn't sell GTA numbers and would be limited to 3 mil to 4 mil due to it's western appeal.

Which is surely still true? Or is this game gonna be huge? I know ALOT of people who've bought it already simply cause there hasn't been a GTA in 3 years.

GTA 4 came out 2 years ago. The expansion packs for it came out more recently.

Either way, I get the impression alot of the GTA crowd are buying this to fill the void.

In big numbers, judging from the people on my facebook 0_o.

Well they were right RDR is a great game, I am having a blast, I bought Alan Wake to , and I cant put down RDR long enough to really give Alan Wake a chance, I have put about 2 hours in to Alan Wake, and it just does not keep me intrested like RDR, look forward to playing RDR tonight when I get home from work.
