"In contrast to Reggie, I’m paid to be objective. I am almost NEVER 100% correct, and neither I nor the people who pay me expect me to be. We are paid to be “close enough,” and to provide investors with objective views about the future. When talking about what will happen in the future, all that really matters is that we’re rational, logical, thoughtful, thorough and remain unbiased. That’s why I’m not held to a batting average. The reason you and other members of the press ask me questions is that I’m accessible, responsive, colorful, and more often than not, am credible." - Michael Pachter

I don't have any better plans, I got myself some beer and I'm kind of in a bad mood, perfect day for NPD. This whole thing starts in about 3 more hours right? So maybe only about 8 more hours until we finally have all the information, yeah...

It's gonna be a fun night.

tl;dr: tagged

Generally something I'd agree with and I actually like Pachter quite a lot (definitely more than the majority of this forum) but this time he isn't "close enough" this time he's totally off the mark.

Pachter is also expecting 85,000 Wii U's

Yeah, the point was to show he isn't paid to be right.  And I agree, there's honestly nothing that suggests his numbers are accurate, especially the PS4 numbers.  Definitely expect an XB1 bump, but to predict the PS4 will have virtually the same weekly baseline as August?  Seems...completely illogical.

How much time left?
