Pachter is the man.

You missed how 70-80% of his predictions are correct - and honestly, in the big picture of things, I have no reason to doubt he's telling the truth - seeing what money he's making and for how long he's been doing that job, I'd say his clients are more than happy with him.


Let me put it this way, I used to watch him regularly, but he said something very confusing and highly doubtful.  He said that MS would NEVER put Blue-ray in the Xbox because it belonged to Sony, and since they were competitors MS didn't want to do that.  It made no sense as tons of Microsoft computers and Laptops have Blue-Ray, and MS's compeition with sony in the home console business has nothing to do with paying them for a worth while and even essential profit.  Even then his clame was dubious and no it has been proven completely wrong.  That and along with the fact with his prediction of a subscribtion based Xbox, and every Nintendo prediction he ever made...ever.  I can't pretend to know why people still trust him, but just look at all of the credit agencies that gave junk bonds AAA+ status and people believed it AND STILL BELIEVE IT TODAY.  People trusting someone for a long time is simply no metric.
