Does he seriously think the PS3 will steal the Wii's market? Why does Pachter get paid to do this? If anyone it should be John Lucas.

 No, no it shouldn't... They're two peas in a pod, only for opposite sides as far as I see.

His half right: I'm waiting to get a PS3 till it drops under 300. A probably a lot of people are. But the thing is the Wii has a lot of big guns to counter any PS3 momentum: MH3, KH3, Wii Fit, SSBB, Mario Kart, BIG RPG, and more suprises.... Plus a small possibility of a price cut.



Wii Code: 4819-7684-2396-4558

 Except JL's predictions actually come close to being right, Pachter is always way off



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

 Yes. One did and another one came close. No Muhammed in my eyes, many users in here have hit home run's dozens of times but are discarded. No one can say that any of JL's current predictions are likely to come true, at least if you apply common sense and realism.

JL is good fun, but hardly a prophet, and I know that most of the community agrees on that point.

 Nintendo has a lot of options if sales slow

Well neither ickalanda nor AT said JL was a prophet or should be one. They just said he's a better analyst than Pachter lately so he should be the one getting paid.

Not saying I agree with them cuz I don't but you're definitely putting words into their mouth when you argue about JL being a prophet or not.

Edit: And that sig needs to be trimmed down wiiforever.

 Well, they did say that Pachter is always way off. My point is; they are both equally useless at predicting, Pachter being no worse nor any better as it were. And trust me; certain users do believe JL is a prophet...

 No, Pachter is wrong pretty much all the time, at least JL makes accurate or near accurate predictions, that is what I am saying, it is an insult to JL to group him with Pachter
