Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pachter: Wii U won’t be “as popular as probably Nintendo thinks”

Oh my goodness! Everytime I read a statement from Pachter about Nintendo I think I lose brain cells and I become dumber. I don't understand him because wasn't it Pachter who also thought that Nintendo should have released a Wii HD two years ago, or something like that? Now that they have a HD system coming out he goes and states something as ridiculous as Nintendo is about to "Dreamcast" themselves. I guess it's a lose, lose, situation with Pachter when it concerns anything Nintendo. Not surprisingly he is 75% - 85% wrong most of the time, so there are no worries from me .

you guys should all go to school and pay attention!

of course he is right!



of course I'm being sarcastic



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

 

So... A video game analyst thinks that the Wii U may sell less than Nintendo probably thinks?

 

Seems legit.



Wii-U to be the most popular console ever created comfirmed :)



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Im sure Nintendo have not revealed all of their cards yet when it comes to the WiiU. We will know more about the device come E3 and even more closer to release. As it stands right now there is a lot of skepticism around the WiiU in how it will be received by the public.

We can't be too quick to judge it yet. Granted I think they could have had a better name for the product, but I am holding my tongue until I see more details on it. As of right now who knows how it will be received when released. Pachter is expressing his Skepticism as are many other gamers.

Wii U is going to have sales numbers in the positive integer scale, those numbers are going to be a certain quantity that will disappoint someone. However, without knowing its release date, system specs, or the controller's rectal fortitude score, I won't be able to predict a better prediction than that. But my next prediction, totally better than this one. Oh, and this is the part where I mention a failed console from sega to prove to gamers that I have net cred, Sega Nomad.

Boom



Can no-one rid us of this meddling analyst!



 

“So, yeah I think they are about to Dreamcast themselves."

 


In that case, looking forward to the WiiU equivalents of Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online, Soul Calibur and others.

Thanks Pachter, for declaring WiiU's legendary games status!

Beautiful.  I wish he'd 32x himself, personally...



Epic Vice president seems to have the exact opposite thoughts
