Forums - Gaming Discussion - Pachter: Activision to buy Take-Two, Nintendo becoming "completely irrelevant"

"Activision are greedy pigs" -- "offering COD multiplayer for free was a big mistake"

so...they should have been even greedier pigs?

okay then Pachter, whatever you say



Around the Network

The COD Bo2 part about Wii U is only natural given that there aren`t millions of consoles and copies sold of the game to have that many people online.
I wonder what`s going to happen if 720 and PS4 arrive next year around the COD release date... there won`t be enough players online, too. Actually, there`s a really good chance Wii U`s online community (more consoles sold might equal more copies sold) will be bigger and possibly more attractive to that gaming community.
So far, the COD franchise hasn`t been throught consoles transitions. Let`s see how it goes.

Personally i believe Wii U will in the next one/two years be the platform of choice to develop games and than being ported to both the 720 and PS4. I don`t think developers will make either the PS4 and 720 the leading platform from the get go. And that means games for Wii U!



I love Pachter, right or wrong he is always entertaining

Because he's a Nintendo troll, admit it. :)

He didn't contradict himself. Why so much hate?

“I think you're going to see now with the Wii U, notwithstanding its early launch support, nobody's going to support it,” Pachter claimed.

Well, if the behind the scenes rumors we heard last week about next gen/E3 are true in part, Nintendo has a particular, "partnership that will cause huge shocks when it’s announced even worse than Bayonetta 2".  Seeing as how the WiiU is set to dominate the console space in Japan (my opinion) and that controller is a perfect fit for RPGs...

Let's just say that Pachter is being presumptuous (big surprise, I know) with his statement of nobody supporting WiiU.

"even worse than Bayonetta 2" isn't saying that much tbh though. Internet shock perhaps, but it's not as if that game matters much in the big picture.

No, it doesn't, but the rumor does make me curious as to what prospects the future may hold.



whatever Pachter says, most of the time the opposite happens lol

Didn't he said Vita was "dead on arrival", I still bought one on launch.

For a frame of reference, how often exactly has Pachter been right about anything? Seriously I always see stuff by this guy, and I never bother to look back to see if he's right.


Quite often, though Nintendo fans usually focus on his Wii predictions which for the first 3-4 years were usually 'It is a fad and will lose steam' or 'WiiHD is needed/coming'.

And you still think those statements are true.



“Next-generation consoles are going to have big hard drives, they're also going to have disc drives,” predicted Pachter.
