While Pachters predictions look to be more common sense than anything, because they are, most people might favor one company because of some sort of bias, which we saw in the recent Japanese analyst thread. The Japanese analyst clearly had a heavy bias for Nintendo which he made predictions that Nintendo would do well because of it.
It's like a lot of people here on VGChartz. Despite what other people in the other camps might tell you. Vita is going to continue to sell poorly, Wii U isn't going to ever pick up and start selling like the Wii did. You guys want to be hopeful and/or deny what's clearly noticeable to everyone else.
Basically, Pachter is waiting to see what happens, and then tells it as he sees it. Not holding bias because he prefers this or that. Basically anyone with common sense and isn't easily influenced could be an analyst.
