http://www.wedbush.com/inside/CapitalMarkets/ResearchProfessionals.asp - for what it's worth, pachter's biography if you think or want to measure up to da pac-man

I know.  I know.  I should get a job at Wedbush Morgan just like Pachter has.  This way when I make an off the wall guess about something, it can be immediately recognized as a prediction just like when Mr. Pachter does it.

Let's look at a few of his past predictions:

In 2005 Pachter said, "In 2010, Sony's going to have 55%, Microsoft's going to have 35%, and Nintendo 10%, with all three of those having plus or minus 5%."

A few months later he said, "I don't think there are four million people in the world who really want to play online games every month.  World of Warcraft is such an exception.  I frankly think that it's the buzz factor, and will eventually come back to the mean, maybe a million subscribers."

He also said that he thought that Nintendo would sell better in 2009 with a lower priced Wii without Wii Sports packed in.  As far as I can tell, Wii Sports is the number one reason that the Wii is sold.

 

Here's a couple of his predictions that I predict will be wrong (you can call them my off the wall guesses).:

He said, "I think that we've seen the last generation of consoles.  (Third party publishers) are not going to support a PS4 or XBox 720."

Also he predicts that the PS Arc will sell for $100, but for some reason the Natal will be affordably priced at $50.

 

I am not saying that I would be a brilliant analyst either (even with the degrees that he has), but I am pretty sure that I could forecast things that well.

By the way, calling him Da Pac-Man makes you look silly.    

 

 

Perhaps, but it makes you look incredibly naive to think that even given a business degree, you would have a shot at wedbush.  You'd have to really impress the interviewer, show that you're a smart cookie, graduate from a 1st tier school or top 20 possibly - like dartmouth, an ivy league, or rutgers, etc.  

Look dont listen to me, just go apply and we'll see how you do in the hiring process, or heck i'll make it easier for you, just try and get in ...... any research firm even one much lower ranked.  You'll probably just get laughed out of the hiring process when you tell them how much time you spend on vgchartz and how much better you can do than that clown, pachter.
