also, where did i say his public statements is his real analysis? Im sure he has a very comprehensive analysis with number projections and everything that he gives to his paying clients. The stuff he says publicly is mostly opinion stuff in response to game journalists questions. you dont like pachter saying that nintendo missed a business oppurtunity to release a console back in 2010? Honestly, if nintendo was smart they probably should have launched before kinect and move came out. I dont see your problem here, he admits he is wrong on the event, but sticks with his reasoning as to why the event should have happened. He is an analyst, should he not think about ways companies could capitalize on oppurtunities? if you read the link pachter says he is wrong all the time, as will any analyst out there. They are basically just professional guessers... |
I agree about Wii HD. That was one of Pachter's wisest analyses. It was still a bad prediction -- because it didn't happen -- but it was an excellent analysis of the market and of Nintendo's competition.
However, this is the one shining beacon in a sea of bad guesses, wrong ideas, and histrionics. He is a poor analyst.
