Patcher doesn't get paid for the shit that we post on these forums from him. He gets paid to analyze the companies and their profitability, not the success of video games.

What that tells is that he's good at short-term predictions but fails completely at understanding the trends in the long-term.

 

Really I just think that the only predictions that people want to talk about ARE the off the wall ones where you put yourself out on a limb... and thats why he does it.

I mean, he can put on his resume and tell his bosses he's "The best known videogaming analyst out there" and can advertise for them on pdocasts and shit.

I mean can anyone even NAME the second most popualr analyst in the field?

I don't know about the second most popular analyst, but I always felt that Sebastian Kramer's thoughts on gaming trends were intruiging.
