Okay quite a bit of BS going on in this thread.

First off Pachter is just as valid of a resource as VGChartz is. They both state their opinions of the gaming industry. VGChartz states its opinion on sales numbers, Pachter states his business opinion on game businesses and the decisions they make. Opinions will never be 100% accurate and if you are using vgchartz and are bashing Michael Pachter then slap yourself in the head you hypocrite. They are opinions made from the perspective of what would make shareholders the most money the fastest...

Next someone said that Reggie did a bad job in NoA... I would hardly say that Reggie has had that much control over the situation seeing as how Nintendo has been telling Reggie how to run NoA from Japan. He can hardly be blamed if Japanese games haven't sold well in America. If you want their games to keep coming over here then you need to buy them when they do.

Uhh..what? VGChartz makes estimations on sales numbers based on the information they have from retailers. That's not an opinion, it's an educated guess. In no way is that similar to Michael Pachter stating his opinion on a business. Even if they were the same, a person isn't a hypocrite for valuing the opinions of one person/entity over that of another.
