Since the death of Jack Thompson (well his career is death) we need another old wise guy to have fun with.

"We adjusted our forecast downward for 2010 due to disappointing year-to-date results and our new belief that console price cuts later this year are highly unlikely. The primary driver for sales growth in 2011 – 2013 is the introduction of the Nintendo 3DS, which we expect to spur hardware and software sales dramatically for the next two years." -

Also he's expecting another price cut for the Wii, lower prices for the DS games and a decline of the DS market, usual things including Wii HD.

so he predicts huge sales for consoles, most likely i'm guessing HD consoles since he has been always touting HD Wii to catch up.  catch up to what i might add. 

but then halfway through the year he notices sales are down all around and then says intelligently using all his brain power "sales will be down this year"  followed by a "hey this new system will sell a lot" and an older generation will reduce its games price and system price.  wow genius. 

is there a religion based on this guy yet, i sure want to join

Always better than Scientology, although I'd prefer Pastafarianism to both. 

I don't understand the Pachter hate. The man delivers.
