Honestly, Pachter isn't that bad. He does say some stupid things but most of the hate garnered towards him is his predictions that put down a certain console or put a certain console in a good light. Over time he's upset a lot of console fans even with reasonable predictions.

Relatively seen he is quite bad.
Our predictions wouldn't be better than his, but nobody writes articles about us. I don't get why his predictions are news-worthy, since he's wrong quite often.
How did I not stumble across this thread before? Great work at compiling his predictions!
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
New Elder Scrolls in 2017? I can definitely see that with the remastered version of Skyrim coming out last year, please be correct!
Seems like he's been right more times than not.
Edit: I think all his 2017 predictions will be right.
Edit 2: Except the PS4 being 199 and Switch being sold out until September.
About time we had an official thread to idolatrize the greatest *cough* in being wrong *cough* analyst of the industry!Tagging
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I don't know about the guy the only thing i think i heard about him is how he said Console gaming is dead forever or something like that.
This guy makes sometimes makes some really bad prediction from what i read.
| Miguel_Zorro said: Gaming Analyst Michael Pachter has been around for 10 years now. He makes a lot of predictions. They generate a lot of controversy here, often because he says things that we don't want to hear. He also has a reputation for being wrong a lot. So I asked myself - is he actually wrong more often, or do we just selectively remember the times that he was wrong? Or do we just choose to believe he is wrong because we don't like his predictions? In this thread, I'll make a list of his predictions, and track which ones were correct. Feel free to help. I ask that any predictions and results come with cited sources. |
I believe he's more often wrong if you don't count as a prediction when he's captain obvious, when he contradict himself, or when he have a wide mergin of error (for xbox, he could have predicted 20, 25 or 30, that's a whole difference but it would still be "close"). Most of his predictions are stupidities or mistakes, he does not have a better understanding of the market than the average joe here.
