For a frame of reference, how often exactly has Pachter been right about anything? Seriously I always see stuff by this guy, and I never bother to look back to see if he's right.

Quite often, though Nintendo fans usually focus on his Wii predictions which for the first 3-4 years were usually 'It is a fad and will lose steam' or 'WiiHD is needed/coming'.

Actual no.

i know a guy who has a list of quotes from him and him being wrong but stuff not related to wii.

Mind posting that list?! :D

 

The Pachter Predictions: Right or Wrong?

I wanted to add a couple more, if you don't mind.

2007:

"We expect the dominant console at the end of the next cycle to be Sony PlayStation 3, primarily due to our assessment that Sony will win the high definition DVD format war. Ultimately, we see Sony winning the console war with 36% of the market, with Nintendo capturing second place at 34% and Microsoft finishing third at 30%."

2005:

"I don't think there are four million people in the world who really want to play online games every month. World of Warcraft is such an exception. I frankly think it's the buzz factor, and eventually it will come back to the mean, maybe a million subscribers. It may continue to grow in China, but not in Europe or the U.S. We don't need the imaginary outlet to feel a sense of accomplishment here. It just doesn't work in the U.S. It just doesn't make any sense."
