Couldn't agree more.

I stopped posting on this site 10 years ago and he still is the biggest moron in the world.  (props on p.1 post defining "moron")_  good to see you're still here rol!!!!!

  Beyond his usual overwhelming idiocy, WHAT kind of PREDICTION is granted a 7M margin of error?!?!?!  

It' would be an accurate prediction if he said it would sell under 14M and above 12.5M  (if it does indeed sell 13M);  saying it won't extravagantly outsell it's own manufacturing models is not a frikin' (can we curse again on here, I forgot?) ANALYSIS!

Did some digging and here are some other gems of wisdom from Pachter:

- PS3/360/Wii will be the last console generation

- Red Dead Redemption won't have mass appeal and won't become a blockbuster franchise

- GTA5 to launch in 2010

- Wii motion controls won't be accepted by the community and consequently Nintendo will exit the hardware business

- Kinect will be $50 (It was three times that)

- Nintendo will make a mid-gen Wii HD

Nothing and I mean nothing will top his Netflix worthless piece of crap in 2005. Like you can tell he was being a child when he made that statement. 

Pachter is one of those people (however he is someone that seems to hold grudges of company that are successful in spite of his prediction). However it really is the "worthless piece of crap" comment that gets me. It showcases how unprofessional he truly is. 

For awhile he has been trying to paint netflix is doomed (in July 2017, he said in 12 months it would decline to $73, if i recall in July 2018, it was $300 plus).

(He is also ranked really low based on his stock portfolio it seems as well).

Well, that last one could be called a Wii U...

I'm actually surprised he's not near dead last.

But hey, managing to get even less than 1 star out of 5 is speaking legion by itself

Wii U was its own new and separate system. Pachter predicted there would be a HD-capable hardware revision of the original Wii around 2009-2010.

Yeah I know, just kidding

However, considering the Wii U technically speaking just being an enhanced Wii with a new controller, it's one of his closest predictions he made.

Eh, the way I see it, Wii U doesn't have that much in common with the Wii besides the branding really.

Wii was a easy-to-understand, accessible blue ocean console that removed barriers to entry for gaming, Wii U was a confusing, user-unfriendly red ocean console that added barriers to entry.

This, people don't need to pay attention on what Patch is saying and gave him attention.

Pachter actually has a lot of expertise: I feel that I've learned more from watching Pachter Factor on YouTube than I have from any other gaming channel. He seems like a nice guy as well, but his comments need a lot of contextualisation. For example, every year he predicts the release of the new Elder Scrolls game “because one year I'll be right”: it's not a serious prediction. Similarly he doesn't cover any Japanese game companies for Wedbush, including Nintendo, so again, what he says about them is largely for the fun of it. I think that in his own mind if he's giving away predictions it's very much “buyer beware”.

But of course he's often so wrong that he looks stupid for saying something; he was convinced that Nintendo had to drop the price of the Switch and - had they taken his advice - they would have lost enormous sums of money. It's one thing to dish out wrong predictions but something else to give catastrophic business recommendations. At the end of the day Nintendo seems to know its business better than anyone else.
