The only people who hate him are nintendo fans and only because he gives nintendo a hard time. Sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly. Live with it.


That's not true, really.  He craps on more than just them.  However, I think the idea that he talks crap about certain companies just for attention may be correct based  on this part of the interview

Eurogamer: Do you ever get it completely wrong?

Michael Pachter: All the time. All the time. But who cares? I'm glad you asked that question. It's not my job to induce investors to do something, to compel them to action. That's not my job. My job is to make them better informed so they can make better-informed decisions. It would be naive of me and extremely arrogant of me to believe that I'm the only person that they would ever speak to and I'm the only source of data they would ever have.

 

Perhaps. The people who seem to hate him the most on this site seem to me to be nintendo guys.

I dont really seem what you mean that he just wants attention - what he is saying is what I have heard about his job and of course the investors will have more than 1 source of information. 


The thing is that he says things such as that Nintendo fans would buy a box with the word "Nintendo" on it and not even care.  He was bashing the Nintendo fanbase as being those who would buy anything Nintendo releases, even if it's complete garbage.  I haven't really known about him until I started reading up about the 3DS, where he made lots of unnecessarily harsh remarks that ended up being not true at all.  He knows he's wrong all the time, so I think he takes advantage of this fact to make outlandish statements about something smaller he believes.  This way more people talk about it.  

In that interview, he said he pissed off Sony for implying that they are ripping off their consumers.  He said he did apologize, but it still doesn't ammend the fact that he is doing this on a regular basis.
