maybe Pathcer is just trolling?

Right or wrong, he's the person investors go to for insight on the gaming market.
You could say he put his money where his mouth is - but it's more like other people put their money where Pachter's mouth is. Except those people aren't actually gamers.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
WELL we know zelda will sell less then 10 milion units of the NX

He saw so many people playing the zelda demo at e3 so he thought it would sell more than cod and battlefield

Well keep in mind the number of consoles moved at launch is not proportionately identical to the number of copies sold by any one launch title. People buying at launch are investing, not buying on the merrits of the console as it stands cause let's just face it, consoles at launch are always lacking in a quantity of quality titles to play on them. What a really strong launch and first year lineup of exclusives does - like the Wii and Playstation 2 had - is instill confidence to invest. It's a different period from any other in a console's lifespan.

Indeed. Zelda by itself may not be enough to move those 10m NXs so quickly, but a strong launch all around would be strengthened immensely with BOTW at the forefront.

Other people don't get paid to do it. Other people don't influence major publishers and developers Other people don't have an influence on investors. Other people don't do this exclusively. Pachter is a joke and worthy of our scorn because he's basically a total idiot and he gets paid to be a total idiot. For comparison's sake, here are the top selling Zelda titles of all time: http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=Zelda Most any one sold on any one console was less than 8 million. Couldn't even break 8 million with Twilight Princess on Wii, their best selling home console and a cultural fad. The fact that he said a new Zelda would push 10 million console sales is a joke when it literally took me 5 seconds to do enough research to know that will never, never, never happen. |
Ah, it being his job does make it pretty sad, though how can he still influence people after all the junk he's said, I would think people should have stopped taking him seriously by now.

If someone is buying because of the potential they wouldn't be buying for the crossgen game.
