Forums - Nintendo - Pachter: "Nintendo should get rid of the Switch console and have only the Lite"

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/445931/michael-pachter-nintendo-should-get-rid-of-the-switch-console-and-only-have-the-switch-lite/

"I don’t really understand the whole hybrid concept. I think that was something Iwata did to differentiate the Switch, and he wanted to have a console that could go back and forth from console to portable. But I don’t think most people play it in both modes, I would say that maybe 20% of Switch owners play both modes; and I think most Switch owners play it handheld only. So I honestly don’t understand the whole point of the hybrid. Who cares? Play it as a handheld.

And Nintendo isn’t that smart, so you never know what they will do next, but I think the smart thing would be to get rid of the Switch console and only have the Switch Lite, get rid of the docking station, get rid of playing on the TV; maybe offer a Fire Stick style dongle for those who do want to play it on the TV. But I just think that a portable-only Switch makes the most sense, it’s the cheapest to make, and they could make the screen nicer and the build quality better."

I think we have to just stop paying this dude any mind.



...wut



"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."

Yeah, Nintendo is the one that isnt that smart...sure Pachter. Having only the Lite would make it about the same price for people who wants separate Joy-Cons anyway. God forbid they give us options...



Who?

Will patcher ever STFU?



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

He's right that why the Lite version is the highest sellin.... oh wait... checks numbers... Hmmm hybrid sales constantly higher than Lite numbers. I've changed my mind, he's an idiot.

I agree, just saying that isn't enough. He is reposted as much as he is because he WORKS as clickbait.
Supposedly Mod staff wants to increase quality and engagement,
well Pachter clickbait is not how to that the good way, and I doubt it the bad way even works in long term,
since it is just wallowing in the bottom of the barrel muck along with everyother clickbait scam site out there.

If VGChartz cannot do the right thing and ban him from articles and thread topics,
Maybe we ourselves can do the right thing... And just not ever click those articles are participate in threads.
I will repost this message in the next 4 Pachter stories/threads I see, but after that NOTHING.
He isn't worth the oxygen he breathes, he isn't worth the time to laugh at what a piece of shit he is.

COMMIT TO THE NO PACHTER PROMISE



This is literally the dumbest video game related thing I've heard in a long time. How can you be a paid analyst in the industry and be this out of touch with the industry??
