Wait a minute. Pachter thought Nintendo should release 3DS at $50 more than Nintendo did and they would still sell like gangbusters, clearly because he thought Nintendo fans would rush out and buy it no matter the price. When Nintendo fans didn't do that it proved Nintendo fans are anything but willing to buy the next Nintendo product without discernment or consideration. But now Pachter continues to accuse Nintendo fans of doing just that.

I do wonder if Pachter made a slip of the tongue and really only meant to apply the criticism to Apple fans only.

Still, as a stockmarket investment adviser/analyst what he's really saying is that Nintendo is a pretty safe investment bet for the Wii U, and continued success of the 3DS because these units will sell well. So Nintendo fans should take this as a back handed compliment because Pachter thinks Nintendo is a sound investment despite some recent negative short-term numbers.

Can someone read this to me? I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, it's written on my certificate of disability.

fans=/=fanboys
This thread title needs to be changed

Agreed. The attack is aimed at fanboys and they really are stupid enough to buy a box with the name of their master's name written on it.

Only problem I see is that he missed that fanboys are also ignorant, oversensitive, immature and in numerous ways insane in the brain.

just ignore him guys!!!

I mean Nintendo is probably the company that releases less limited/special/bundle/redesigned edition of all!

This is the first time I find myself agreeing with him, strange.

btw: title should say fanboys, not fans

I'm not quite sure why people are asking for the title to be changed, he said, "“I don’t think Nintendo fans are so stupid they would buy a piece of cardboard. A box on the other hand, that says Nintendo on it, they probably would......"

He goes on to use the word fanboys at the end but is opening comment is directed at Nintendo fans.

You do realize hes only talking about hardcore Nintendo fanbiys and not just gamers who like Nintendo right.......

Hypothetical question: If someone writes fake reviews on metacritic for games he has never played to boost/sabotage user scores, Fan or Fanboy?

Just saw the gametrailers episode. I thought it was funny and not to be taken that seriously. I mean it is a box that says Nintendo on it. I'll preorder some right after they ship my multiple order of vitality sensor.
