Lol.

AAA has less market penetration into the PC market where smaller publishers can compete on closer to equal footing. Financial analysis (Pachter's livelihood) is more difficult when there's far more than just a few big players holding all the cards.
Closed platform markets, especially when more marketing is spent on them, are inherently simpler to analyze.

Pachter's analogy was unprofessional, sure, but I think he'd have a much better idea of whether this is actually true in the real world.
Almost no one in the real world uses PC master race seriously..It's always been facetious and only fools get offended by it.
No.
Racism is hatred. A passion for good performance will naturally lead to less tolerance for bad performance. Being less tolerant about something =/= hatred for that thing. For example, athletes are less tolerant of foods and treats that are high in calories. Does that mean that athletes hate McDonald's, chocolate, and pizza? Nope.
Call me when cops kill people at a traffic stop because of their console choice.
No metric he'd have access to could tell him what he claimed.
Sounds about right to me. Also makes sense that the people who will go apeshit and throw temper tantrums over this comment are probably also the people who freak out any time Pach is wrong about something.

Just finished playing some amazing PC games and figured this was one of those threads where you show off your gaming setup.
This is mine.

EDIT: Figured I should state sarcasm.. just in case.
Why would the people annoyed by this (mostly PC gamers) freak out about his predictions that are entirely console based? PC gamers don't make up his audience.
PC gamers have created this type of 'better than you' persona online is really annoying.
I just figure they both fall into the same category of chronic over-reactors who follow gaming/tech news,

Not a bad set-up, not enough colors on your keyboard or tower though. I think it's all in the bright, contrasting colors of a case.
Here's mine:
Obviously being fallacious, but shame some sight gags people do... For those curious the source of this is one of those "gag image" sites on the internet, so not played to be serious, but I would say distasteful. But can I judge since I found it by literally googling "racist pc"? I also hope the joke isn't too distasteful, I debated making this joke response.
Whelp, seeing some posts in this thread... he kinda got a point.

Found a picture of a meeting:
You don't think being compared to a racist warrants a reaction? Lets not pretend that people don't shit their pants over any disparagement of console gamers or their favourite games.

The analogy is awful and Pachter is just about the worst messenger but I don't know how a lot of people on here can say with a straight face that they don't see people rush to promote the virtues of their platform of choice and/or denigrate consoles on this site. It's not just secluded to reddit or elsewhere. It also doesn't always come packaged in over the top 'master race' talk either. There's elements of it happening in this thread.
Fanboyism has always been bad but PC evangelism has never been higher than it is right now. So much discussion centered around games right now is about how and where you play games instead of the actual games and that to me is just shitty.

Was referring to the part about knowing whether PC Gamers use multiple consoles in the real world like they seemingly do on GAF.
Aka his job.
This thread is a gold mine for ignore lists.

No, I don't think what is clearly a tongue-in-cheek remark warrants a reaction; I fully expect the people who cannot differentiate between a tongue-in-cheek remark and a serious slur to get their panties in a twist.

Oh yes, indeed it is.. I like this thread because it's a very effective honeytrap.
To pretend like this doesn't apply to console players is just terribly ignorant.
It does in general there is crazy loyalty and some toxicity when it comes to it but it seems like console player are a bit more muted than the pc player like a vegan has to let everyone know about it. Lol.To pretend like this doesn't apply to console players is just terribly ignorant.
Off topic but what does ignoring do in this forum? Does it hide posts?

On-topic, I think while it's good to poke fun at self sometimes, I find people who do the usual "he kind of has a point," type of posts to be missing the point.
