But what about... ferris wheel pancakes?

C'mon guys, clearly Pach has the inside tip from Ninty that they're going to do the same artificial supply shortage/scarcity marketing that they did during the early Wii days.
I kid. I kid. But only about Pach having inside tips.

So at one time he was right? I thought that was just an old wives tale.

I just came in to say that a pancake in a ferris wheel in the core of a quasar wouldn't flip flop, but rather would be instantaneously crushed into a singularity.
Carry on.

300K per month for a new console in the U.S. during the holidays and a few months beyond? I would certainly hope so.
One of the many eternal truths I have learned from GAF is that Nintendo is always doomed. Some days it's just more doomed than others.

Haha, whatever Pachter says, the opposite always comes true! That means the Wii U will do poorly! Haha!

Is this not the same man who said they're dead if they go a cent over $250?

That's right, walk up late afternoon, day 1 and pick one up.
No seriously, he doomed it.
Unless they make 4 million before March 2013.

And that's how you know that it won't. Every prediction he has regarding Nintendo is always wrong.

So it's going to fail
And with this news, Wii U is fucked.
The nuance view of the GAFfer . . . able to read through the BS.

Remember when he said that Nintendo would be lucky to get 10% of the market with the Wii and that 3DS was underpriced at $250. He's hit the nail on the head constantly. This guy has a flawless track record when it comes to Nintendo hardware predictions.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
You have quite the obsession about Funky Barn.

CoD has always been casual to some people, including my good self, and will be until they get rid of aim-assist and auto-regenerating health. Same goes for the vast majority of shooters these days unfortunately. ZombiU is going to be a breath of fresh air for me personally.

It'll only sell out because Nintendo won't make enough to satisfy launch demand, since they know demand won't ever be at those levels again.
Just like Blizzard and Diablo III servers.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Wii U is now doomed.
*insert JoshuaJSlone's graph showing that Wii had more consoles shipped near launch than any system in history*
... and it was still a near complete sellout for 2.5 years in the U.S. Maybe that's too hard for people to grasp even years later?
You're the first. After all, it's not a joke if you're convinced what you're saying is true, and I have my suspicions about how superstitious this crowd is.
I can forsee this being used in NPD threads....
