I'm talking since the wii has been launched why are you talking about 2009 then?

also Yes I'm sure that predicting Wii HD is not part of his job because that's just speculating of the existence of one product not about how well it will sell which is the important part. On the other hand if Wii HD was finally announced that will certainly be part of his job to predict how well it will sell.

 

Im talking about 2009 since that has been when Pachter has been down on nintendo. As for the success of the wii, yeah he got it wrong. But then did so did pretty much every other analyst.  Im not trying to say he has a perfect record or something. I'm just trying to say that we don't know how good of an analyst he is from posts he makes on neogaf or emails he sends to internet blogs.

 

 

What i'm arguing against is people that say he should be fired because he doesnt think the VS will have much impact on wii hardware, or the people that think Pachter is somehow an wii troll or HD fanboy that hates nintnedo wants to see them fail. neither of those things make any sense. His analysis of nintendo's 2009 and the media reaction is the best one I saw
