Why is GAF treating Pachters Wii U prediction like its real sales data?

If Pachter is off by 100K, it´ll still be less than the Gamecube in November 2005It was...at that point, the GC was in its 4th year, while the Wii U is still only a year old and on the back of Mario 3D World.

Hoping Pachter is off by like, 300 K.

Did the GameCube even have anything released in fall 2005? lol. Mario Baseball I think? It was totally on its deathbed by then. 

It was indeed on its deathbed, which makes his 150K prediction truly scary...
