Forums - Nintendo - Pachter: Nintendo “just doesn’t get it” with the Wii U

WiiU to sell 100mil confirmed then.

But that article seems real biased, unnecessarily so.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Mothman - "I don't get Pachter"

The man is a world class moron. What he knows about gaming could be written on the head of a pin with a magic marker.

You know the saying "Empty vessels make the most noise." they were referring to him specifically.



They should have a new word in the dictionary for someone who is always horrendously wrong.



Pachter is a prick. Still the bollocks he spits out can be funny. Amazing how he gets paid for his stupid "expertise"



Patched sounds like a child, he's like a little fanboy and he must be about 50 years old.

You know, with all the hating that the gaming industry has done on the DS, Wii, and Wii U, I just feel like Nintendo is on a completely different line by offering different products than the "core" industry wants, from developers to gamers. They're instead giving a product that other types of gamers enjoy, and this doesn't resonate well with the audience that the industry is heavily known for (the audience which permeates the strongest in the gaming culture).

It's similar to how so many forums despise mobile gaming and think it sucks even though it's growing and revenues are expanding substantially. The forum audiences are those who mobile games do not resonate well with, so no duh they wouldn't enjoy them. That doesn't mean, however, that there isn't a large audience out there who doesn't enjoy them. So, with the gaming culture that we have, it's fairly obvious that they're going to throw around negative statements all the time regarding Nintendo - just as gaming forum users typically do with mobile games. It's not news really, and has absolutely no hold on the reality of the situation.

That's what it feels like.



I didn't bother to read. Someone summarize it for me please? Thank you!

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to entertainment.  I would like to add that a lot of the hate on mobile gaming on gaming forums is probably due to the fact that the gaming media has been shoving it down our throats that smartphone/tablet gaming is the future (and nothing else).  It would be a sad day to see dedicated hand helds die and only option would be to play on a phone or tablet.  Is there room for both?  I believe so but most gaming articles usually state that iOS and Android are the only options in the future.



I like Pachter's show and his appearances on GT but

They didn't get "lucky" with the Wii... or the DS for that matter...
What else... Iphone was a lucky shot?

Honestly, I'd be more worried if Pachter "got" the Wii U ...

That's true. In Pachter's recorded history, he was wrong seven out of seven times (DS, PSP, 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS, PSV).

I'm pretty sure Pachter predicted the PSV to not sell brilliantly - and wasn't he predicting great things for the 3DS at one point? Maybe I'm imagining things
