Are we speaking the same language? Of course I was aware of the people who called the Wii a "fad" or "gimmick". I just said that Pachter was one of those people -- although he never used such inflammatory phrasing, he clearly expected the Wii to do poorly, and then when it didn't, he kept expecting it to suddenly START doing poorly. In fact, I know of only a very few people -- let alone analysts -- who came close to predicting the Wii phenomenon. In other words, we entirely agree, but for some reason you seem to be stating this as if we don't.


Whoa, no need to get your jocks all worked up into a bunch. My fault.


 It's totally fine, I was just rather confused. Let me summarize the conversation we seemed to have:

Me: Most analysts, including Michael Pacther, didn't think the Wii would do well.
You: Actually, most analysts weren't picking the Wii to win in the way it has.

I wasn't upset, just rather flabbergasted at how that conversation ended up at that point. No worries.

I found it funny when N'Gai called Pachter Pac-Attack.



Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.

I mean no one could have predicted that the Wii would be such a phenomenon as it is right now, where in just one year after its inception it has become a media darling.

Soon, the world will take notice! And to think, we knew VHChartz when it was just an infant. My, she's growing quite nicely!

Huh? He predicted Wii number 1 at the end of 2007 before PS3 launched.

We talking about the same guy? I have no recollection of him ever giving the Wii such a wide birth. As I said, he DID admit the Wii would take the lead for a while... once the Wii had already taken an enormous lead, but from what I saw he was saying the PS3 would dominate from the very beginning.

In fact, in this Bonus Trailer video, he even says that "no one saw Nintendo coming," and repeatedly talks about how nobody predicted the Wii would be this big.

If you have evidence ot the contrary, let me know, but this is the first time I've heard such a thing.

Go to gametrailers and watch the Bonusround year edition. He said it. The wii will outsell PS3 and 360 because of the price. He said it, no questions asked.

 Just_ben is right.

And great that they used VGCHARTZ. Can't wait to see what the ANTI-VGCHARTZ people think about it on GT forum hehe.
