Pachter never learns. Never underestimate the Big N.

His face in that pic is just priceless.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I love when he says something will sell poorly... cause it always turns out to be good. :D



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Wow the bar has been lowered so much for the big N. Since when does pulling up the rear yet again in last place while continuing to lose ground to the xbox one, and getting obliterated by the ps4 equal some kind of victory.....i guess cause losing by less means something?????

Pachter should replace Iwata.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

We demand more silly predictions by Pachter, so Wii U can sell 500K units in one month in the United States.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

dude this is about pachters ridiculous prediction. if he said wii u might sell somewhere around 100k, we wouldnt even be having this discussion. he predicted SIXTY FUCKING SEVEN K. thats insanity. by a professional no less. people on this site had more sense than that.

Since before the launch of the Wii, I've been trying to convince people to stop paying attention to this guy.

I've explained quite a few times... he's a professional analyst, which means he produces analyses for companies. The stuff he releases publicly is stuff that is either of no value to companies or entirely fabricated for public release. Every comment, every prediction he releases publicly is being done separately from his job as an analyst.

Indeed, it's not analysis at all - it's PR, and I've no doubt that he's being paid to do it by one of the publishers. I'm fairly confident it isn't Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, or EA. I'm not 100% sure about Activision, but I'm leaning towards it not being them, either. And the frustrating thing is that his comments and his "predictions" get coverage by the gaming media every time, despite the fact that he's wrong far more often than he is right, with the exception of things where anybody could see it coming. He's wrong far more often than any other "analyst" that releases any comments publicly.

So please, everyone, learn from that Simpsons Halloween episode, and "just don't look".
