1. Pachter's predictions aren't that bad usually, it's just that he lets his mouth do more talking than his work. As a professional of his caliber he should know better.
2. He is currently suffering from a huge backlash against his prediction that the PS3 and 360 would really take off. He got caught up in the hype...or he has a singular focus on American sales which could really blind somebody trying to judge an industry that is historically precedent-setting in Japan.
3. While I and I'm sure many others around here (esp. the Sales-Age kids) would take the pepsi challenge to his shit any day...I don't think he's that far off about the majority of people that have no idea what they're talking about. This is the same forum that produced such fine gems as jimbo, the guy that thought the 360 was making a come back in Japan.
As a professional, Pachter should rise above the fray and not be concerned about message board posters. Singling out NeoGaf shows he's actually concerned about what we say than a man in his position should be or cares to be...
