I can understand why people are disappointed with UC2's sales. Before release I'm sure how it's sold was almost unbelieveable. Thing is, it's ended up the game of the year and to me everything about it seems perfect to go on to be a big seller - the games appeal is just right, they nailed the marketing and it's got a strong online contingent.
While any game that sells like UC2 is a financial success, to me it nailed absolutely everything to be something even greater. Instead it faded off the NPD chart after a month.
I can undestand where Pachter is coming from, as the game to me has absolutely everything 'perfect' to be a huge seller, yet it was instead only a really good seller - and imo it's hard to see where its downfall was.
