The OP is so weird

You're the new Tomb Raider

Kudos to Pachter, he got something right.

4 years!

Good old Missfiredict TrollPatch. Always proving that the opposite of what he says happens 90% of the time

love necro threads like this. it was so obvious the wiiu would capitulate, its the last nintendo console il ever buy on launch

He was right about the Wii U but unless Switch sales suddenly take a nosedive in 2018, he was wrong about the long term recovery. Knowing Pachter though, he will probably use the following flawed logic.

"3DS sold 60 million units, and Wii U sold 14 million units. Since Switch hasn't sold 74 million units that means Nintendo hardware sales are still shrinking."

The problem with this logic is that many people who owned a Wii U also owned a 3DS. Also you can't count 3DS sales from 2011 to winter 2012 as part of the 74 million units, since the Wii U wasn't out yet. Finally the 3DS was a system that a lot of people bought twice, and only bought a handful of games for. Switch has a much higher software attach rate. 

Finally, his commentary is the only thing keeping me on this earth.

He was actually correct about the Wii U. Almost everyone in this thread thought it was fine and was going to do great, if you predicted it would be discontinued before hitting 15 million you would've been laughed off of this forum.

Wait one of Pachters predictions came true, well half true at least. (Checks the sky outside to make sure the worlds not ending) Well I don’t see any double moons or anything so I guess were ok.
