And Michael Prachter is a market analyst. He and along with hundreds of others predicted an early failure for the Wii and PS3 domination out of the gate. He is still predicting PS3 domination, he just keeps pushing it back. It begins in 2007...8...9. Sorry but I don't see how being a small business salesman counts as a pedigree for video game market analysis.

Did you saw the thread where Michael Patcher said "one year ago' that 2007 will be an excellent year for Nintendo?

Where did Michael Patcher said what you posted?

I've seen the thread, but I've never been able to find any record of him saying that. He claims that he said that now. He's always predicted the PS3 would win and the Wii would do poorly. Although he's stopped saying the Wii would do poorly and now started saying it would do "okay." As far as him constantly adjusting the timeframe, you can see that from just watching his gametrailers interviews.

As far as Birdman's bet, I'm not sure about MGS4 still so I'm not going to take it. I'd say I've already been pretty successful in these bets since I have lured both leo-j and ssj into bets that they at this point cannot possibly win (even if they haven't been resolved yet). A smart gambler bets on only a sure thing.

 Patcher said the Wii would win this year in the bonus round, can be found in the retrospective
