I dunno I myself think Pachter is well lets say this politely not in touch with the industry. He's wrong more then he is right and I call him on it all the time here on VGChartz. Only reason I stopped is because my TV broke and the audio on my PC did as well. So I can't actually watch his ramblings to disagree with them!
As for VGChartz giving him the lime light, I think thats a bad move as many users on VGChartz despise the guy and his credability as a gaming analyst is shot. I wish I could hear his latest stuff, I'm sure I'd get a good laugh out of it.
As for your thing about users liking him, I haven't really seen much of that. Alot of users hate his guts especially Nintendo fans who have seen him outting their favorite company for a long time. His whole Nintendo is doomed thing doesn't win him any bonus points on the Nintendo boards.
However I can see alittle why VGChartz would post him on the site. I mean despite all the crap he spews and the hatred of the user base he is a widely respected analyst. He gets paid a crap load and despite not having the best track record their are a ton of people who still listen to his advice. Maybe VGChartz thinks having him on the site will attract more users and traffic.
Heck I think I'd be a better analyst then Michael and I have no buisness and stock related experiance.
