Well, he and Game Trailers were big supporters of Microsoft in the last weeks.

I mean, I remember THIS PREDICTION and a lot more from him, praising Microsoft against Sony.

He told us he would go to Xbone reveal... but after that... NOTHING.

In his Twitter account he has said nothing since May 21th in fact.

I really wanted to hear him being wrong AGAIN.

Meelow · May 23, 2013

Microsoft kidnapped him?

...Or he's just really disappointed with the Xbox One.

Rollo Tomasi · May 23, 2013

The checks from Microsoft stopped coming.

It's a possibility... XD

sajj316 · May 23, 2013

he went on vacation?

Coulomb_Barrier · May 23, 2013

Guy stopped breathing. Or he's taking a break.

Toki767 · May 23, 2013

He had a lunch or something to go to right after the Xbox One reveal according to his show. He's probably just really busy. He does have a real job.

MikeE21286 · May 23, 2013

Tweet twice to let us know you're alive Pach-Attack

This is most likely. He went in to hiding for a bit while stuff cools down. And then he hopes that we'll all just forget.

exmachina64 · May 23, 2013

He was talking about the Xbone on NPR.

BlockheadBrown · May 23, 2013

Likely just digesting everything. His stuff is more based on business decisions on the industry.

ochaworldorder · May 23, 2013

He was on NPR yesterday on a bland "the newest Xbox was announced!" segment doing the bit about how families will buy this so their kids can talk to grandma on kinect/skype. It seems like there are way cheaper/easier to teach grandma how to use devices for that but whatever...

AkuMifune · May 23, 2013

He's locked in a hotel room with a dwindling bag of crack shaving his eyebrows off.

Currygan · May 23, 2013

he's probably busy fine tuning an Olympic level acrobatic piece about the Bone

Well the next generation hasn't even started, not one PS4 or Xbox One has been sold. He may very well be right.

The Pachter hate on GAF is embarrassing.

whitehawk · May 23, 2013

He was wrong?

Didn't he predict that the XBone will work with your cable service, Skype will be a big selling point and that Kinect will be bundled?

statham · May 23, 2013

Vacation, He probably did a ton of interviews leading up to the event.

Neuromancer · May 23, 2013

After munching on leaves for the last few days he's formed into a chrysalis and will emerge in a few weeks time a beautiful butterfly.

SJRB · May 23, 2013

I hope his next Pach-Attack is just as funny as the previous.

DragonSworne · May 23, 2013

What can he say?

He can't be critical of Microsoft and he doesn't want to lose his credibility by paroting Penny Arcade's and Wired's terrible articles supporting MS's bad practices.

He's been exposed.

Wag · May 23, 2013

What didn't happen to Michael Pachter?

Stumpokapow · May 23, 2013

Give me a break.

neshoba78 · May 23, 2013

He likes it. It's just not the headline that he does.

He will go into apologist mode soon enough.

Hadn't seen that slide before.

How is Skype a killer app when basically every consumer electronics device runs Skype at this point? My new toaster has Skype.

andycapps · May 23, 2013

I'm going to guess that he's a busy man.

Jarnet87 · May 23, 2013

He also predicted that at least 1 woman would be a presenting during the conference. He was right there, even if they were absolutely worthless to the show.

StuBurns · May 23, 2013

He doesn't want GAF threads about him, I think we should respect that and all pretend he doesn't exist anymore.

SniperHunter · May 23, 2013

Wasn't he making fun of Kotaku because of the always online story they wrote? Hahah who is laughing now Mr Pachter?

Pachter: "Who is the dumbass who came up with this rumor?"

Guy: "Kotaku."

Pachter: "Oh. Now that I know Kotaku came up with that, it must be right.
DUMB. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

Kotaku writes shit like that and people click on it?"

to who?

I'm pretty sure both the PS4 and Xbone will be sold out of their initial allotments during the holiday launch window

I'm all for this.

Tobor · May 23, 2013

He's changed his name to Pach Lion and only analyzes the reggae industry now.

He rested for 19 days and arose on the eve of E3.

Thus the prophecy read.

inky · May 23, 2013

He stopped tweeting for a day?

He will probably be out front defending it and saying, 'deal with it' soon enough.

EXGN · May 23, 2013

Dude doesn't tweet in two days, clearly he has committed seppuku for his critical lapse in judgment that sent the video game industry into a massive depression.

BadWolf · May 23, 2013

Its difficult for xbox supporters/fans right now, let the poor guy be.

Totobeni · May 23, 2013

Speech is silver, silence is golden.

so he is doing better this way.

Holy shit I just realized it is only the 23rd, was thinking it was June for some reason lol

Thread is officially creepy now

The Omega Man · May 23, 2013

He couldn't keep dat spin, by the end of the XBONE conference he just vanished into the air

Raitosaito · May 23, 2013

The pointless hate for Pachter is like a GAF meme.

True and I can also attest that going by the hype thread that we were all wrong about what the conference would be like.

The gaf pachter hate really is truly embarrassing and hypocritical.

Patcher is not that important.

The Spoony Hou · May 23, 2013

He's thinking on a way to spin it that will end up wrong anyway. And that's Pachter's Law.

grosvenor_92 · May 23, 2013

Taking time off or doing analyst related things maybe ?

Dude gets paid millions for giving corporate suits information that they could get from spending an hour on GAF.

So dumb. Yeah families who have a lot mandatory expenses will buy a expensive console and pay for gold to talk to grandma. Fuck a cheap web cam for a computer, or a tablet, or a phone. We want to talk to grandma on the big screen, in the living , all sitting down together.

Basic reverse psychology, and it's working.

Now threads are being started purely due to the absence of Michael Pachter.

He wants us to post about him, he needs us to post about him.

If GAF stopped making threads about Pachter, he would literally cease to exist.
