Yes, but to a much lesser extent.

Michael Pachter has proven himself to be an attention whore and he got so much attention with his anti-Nintendo tirades that he got his own show on Gametrailers, so he kept doing his trolling. For fans of other consoles there aren't all that many instances that stung; most noteworthy are his repeated predictions that consoles will go extinct which unsurprisingly is met with very negative reactions from any console fans.

Pachter's recent statements regarding Switch and Switch Lite were full-on trolling, because it's such a blatant disregard of publicly available data that even Nintendo haters didn't want to join his bandwagon.

So Patcher is the thing that unites gamers? Cool.

I cringed reading that article both for the terrible predictions and the journalism/writing. That's impressive.

This site wouldn't be the place you should ask this.

I have seem all fanbase mock him for the joke he is (perhaps not hate but ok). We even use him to predict the perfect opposite occurence or complain he jinx something when he predict success.

Pachter is soooo 2005.

I didn't even know he's still around, lol.

I'm sure he will make a prediction about how Switch 2 will do, when announced, and I'm also sure it will be wrong. Looking forward to it!

Michael Patcher amuses me in much the same way that B movies do. You know they are going to stink, but there is an art to making something stink to high heaven.

But this in communication systems means 100% accuracy, you just need to invert the output!

I never missed a prediction after analysing Patcher prediction.

I am a PlayStation fan and I find his predictions on anything to be a waste of time! Never put any stock into what the buffoon says as generally the opposite of his views is what becomes reality.

How he still has a job as an 'analyst' is beyond me lol
