For me, Michael Pachter is in the same boat as Jack Thompson in relationship to the game industry, a career built around BS and personal ego.



Around the Network

WTH, a Pachter prediction that actually came true?



He wasn't completely wrong after all. Thanks for digging this gem up.

Stock higher that its main competitor, selling out everywhere and breaking records for Nintendo, 3D Mario and Zelda in same year probably going to be duking it out for GOTY 2017, Pokemon Go, NES Classic, SNES Classic sold out in UK... Pokemon Switch and Metroid Prime 4 on the way... hmm... yep, they still haven't recovered.

Nintendo's net sales in FY2009 (Nintendo's market peak) - 18.7 bln dollars

Nintendo's net sales in FY2012 (Michael Pachter's prediction) - 7.9 bln dollars

Nintendo's net sales in FY2016 (with Pokemon Go hysteria, Nes Classic sales and first launch month of Switch and Zelda) - 4.4 bln dollars.

Yep. They still haven't recovered.

Isn't that FY2017 in Nintendo's terms?

One month of Switch plus 1.5M NES Classic can't recover what the Wii U lost, especially during the holiday season

As for your last sentence, I'd think that now they have recovered, considering how Switch is selling. July 26 (the next investor's meeting) will surely show a marked increase compared to last year
