Forums - Gaming - Patcher is one the most accurate gaming analysts?????

I found this chart at joystig and couldn'tbelieve my eyes when I saw it. Truth be told I hate patcher with a passion but it seems he is not as terrible as I want to believe.

Here is the link.

P.S I bet all the false perdictions were about the wii.

He's still at what 60% that's still bad, particularly because most of what's said is an obvious guess that any of us would think of. As far as him being more accurate then others, I guess that's why I only hear him being quoted, while he's make funable, the others are simply unmentionable.



60% is not that great, despite being the best out there. Looking at our own predictions here at VGC it looks like some of us may have a future in video game analysis =]

I could be wrong but I suspect that if you were making unbiased "random" (for lack of a better word) predictions you would probably be correct 33% of the time; if you're looking at the market as it is rather than how you want it to be and making decent predictions you should be correct 66% of the time (at least).

I not trying to disagree I just want to know the scope of many wrong predictions he has made.At least 10 and that being just about the wii. I think he probably makes 70 perdictions per year. Meaning most his accuracy is being made on the other two consoles. So thinking about if you throw away his wii perdictions you can use him to see the future other two consoles.
