Michael Patcher.

Before both the PS3 and Wii launched, he predicted the Wii would come on top for the year.

I've heard you or someone else say this before, and I'm still quite confident this is revisionist history.

In January, a month after the PS3/Wii's launch, Pachter said something like this. However, I specifically remember him estimating 10% marketshare for the Wii pre-launch. If you have proof otherwise, please post it!

Wedbush's Michael Pachter, percentages (worldwide? US?) through 2010/2011, made May 2005

in five years it will look like this:: Microsoft at 30-35 percent, Sony at 45-55 percent, and Nintendo at what's left.
