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

Pemalite on 24 October 2020

Clearly Pachter is running a multi-billion dollar world-wide company successfully, so he is in a position to give Nintendo appropriate advice.

Need to stop giving him the time of day...

I think Michael has finally surpassed himself with these comments.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

If the Switch had always been handheld only and not functioned as a home console, I would not have bought one, and I expect I'm far from alone in that.

Guess he needed something controversial to get some lime light again

As stupid as he may be, he is still entertaining. I always have a good laugh when I read his nonsense.

I wonder how he is able to figure out how doors work with comments like this one.

Howgh! Great Chief and Analyst Manitou Pachter spoke! Teh Hybrid didn't save Ninty and it wasn't a great new gaming concept, let's bury it under a pile of dung!!!

Can someone who's good with numbers whip up how many of the Switches sold since the Lite's launch have been Lites vs hybrids?

Shipments during the four most recent quarters:

Switch (hybrid SKU): 15.76m
Lite: 8.81m

Obligatory link for collected Switch shipment data.

It's close to a 2:1 ratio in favor of the hybrid SKU, but said SKU has also suffered much more severe shortages than the Lite during the past year. If supply had been limitless, then the hybrid would have certainly had a ratio of greater than 2:1 in its favor.

Regarding Pachter, he's a paid shill. His name is well-known among video game journalism, so there's a basis to shape opinions with hot takes, no matter how wrong they may be. The time to bring Pachter out with this nonsense is now, because the expectation that Switch sales would have tapered off by the time the PS5 and XSX|S launch hasn't come to fruition. Gotta establish the narrative that Switch is a handheld, because otherwise the other two consoles stand no chance at winning.

Alrighty, I thought it was around 2:1. But yeah it'd probably be a lot more weighted in favour of the hybrid if it was widely available, as a lot of people probably settled for a Lite simply cos they couldn't get a base model.

So did Pachter actually say that, that Switch would peter out by or be killed by the launch of PS5/XS? That'd be another pretty hilarious goof.

i think he is the one who not smart enough to understand with the hybrid concept. i mostly played it in handheld mode, but some games i preffered playing it on docked. and why we still give this man attention? since he thinks console market already done few years ago.
