he has many good points... they need to find a way to monetize the online time... it's crazy... but I think he's thinking in the wrong direction... Patcher is often told he's stupid... but you fucks are the ones who don't know what you're talking about... this man doesn't just pull this shit out of his ass he has reasons for believing this way

Is a post like this really acceptable? I mean the part about Pachter having many good points, of course, not the "you fucks" part with which I totally agree.

You fucks.

you'd think they'd have a code like for PC games to play online by now,which you need to enter to go on live/psn,so at least people buy a new copy,i'm not sure if its workable but i'm surprised they haven't tried to do something like this,seeing as its all about money/profit for companies

Pachter is stumped?

There's a first time for everything.

Pachter, stop skirting, we perfectly know you perfectly know: the problem is the lack of Wii HD and the lackluster E3 Nintendo will have!

Taking the words right out of the mouth of a moron? That is special.

The Video Game Industry is doing everything right for once.

Better than car industry anyway, although that's not index of particularly good performances.

Biggest disasters I can think of in gaming this gen = Sony's arrogance and RROD.

Which do not even compare with American Car Company buyouts + Toyota recalls.  But yea, that is not the best of comparisons :)

"It’s easy to blame the lineup, which was quite light (Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell Conviction was the only AAA title, and it was an Xbox 360 exclusive), but the results suggest something is terribly wrong,"

There you go then, god what an idiot.

it's early in the year, and sales aren't exactly terrible....

It's not that hard to figure out. It's simply the natural slow months of summer coupled with the fact that core gaming is on the decline. People refuse to admit this, but the numbers don't lie.
