Headline - "The guy who gets everything wrong appears to have gotten his career wrong"
I'd be wondering who will replace him, a new video game analyst would have to be hired. Pachter is a decent analyst when it comes to the HD traditional consoles, he is old school in his thinking. He lacks the ability to understand Nintendo however and while he often has some educational insight into the HD platforms he appears to get things wrong there pretty often as well.
Honestly I think about 70% of VGChartz members with over 2,000 posts probably could give more accurate predictions and advice then Pachter. Thats despite his over whelming educational qualifications. Seriously the guy does not hide his hatred of Nintendo , if he doesn't hate them then he is by far the dumbest video game analyst when it comes to Nintendo. I'd prefer to think he is purposely saying crap about Nintendo then to think he actually believes it!
A good video game analyst needs to be able to give accurate predictions at least 50% of the time. He also needs to know enough about all three console manufacturers and the third parties that support them. Knowing a ton about 2/3rds of the industry is not good enough for someone paid as much as he is and with as much of an education.
