Can we not just have one big "LOL Pachter" thread? I know its supposed to be new thread for new news but its just been the same old crap for 5 years now
I'm pretty sure he was just deliberately trolling last night and probably trying to get himself banned
I love when pachter riles up the cult
Approved.Can we not just have one big "LOL Pachter" thread? I know its supposed to be new thread for new news but its just been the same old crap for 5 years now
Posted here?!
Hell! I got a snide PM from him once!
XD
These threads are always awesome. A dude that makes 6 figures to make observations for investors is belittled by a bunch of raging man babies who don't understand what he is even talking about. Never change GAF. Keep up the good work Michael.
This discussion already happened a few pages ago and whichever side of the fence you sit on its undeniable that there are at least several advantages to resistive over capacitive
Wait, wha-?hatchx said:Drawing. Drawing is a big part of the Wii U pad. So resistive is not antiquated whatsoever.
This thread is more fun than Pachter's comments.
Can we rename this thread in "Can Pachter please just shut the fuck up or develop an objective opinion about Nintendo"?
I think Pachter is probably amused at the amount of vitriol he gets over business opinions and predictions in a board full of gamers. It's not like he's a reviewer who slags every Nintendo release.I think he told me he hated me once, or something like that. If he was a troll, he wouldn't have taken this shit from what I guess are mostly teenager gamers so seriously. He's just a big headed, self-important, egotistical person who is mentally still a kid. Somewhat pathetic.
Thing is, earning a lot of money neither makes you smart nor is proof that you're smart. As should be quite obvious by looking at who gets rich and how.

Me too
Don't get me wrong, it's funny when he pisses off Sony/MS cultists too, but bitter Nintendo fan posts are the best to read.
Have to agree. I've read every page and been quite entertained. Never seen so many Reggie-fied avatars in one place.

Pachter jokes are so last gen.. Oh wait!
Is there a reason Wii U can't be $249?
It is the price point I had a predicted a while ago.. $249 is Nintendo's target audience. $299 is not, unless Nintendo thinks that pent up demand for a new console from the core market segment will fuel holiday demand?
Except people who want a more accurate screen.Nintendo should use a capacitive screen for the sole reason because APPLE uses one
People are going to compare the Wii U Pad to an iPad, and if it can't do multitouch people will backlash, big time!
You can see it already in this thread. If Nintendo was using a capactive screen NO ONE would be complaining.
Nintendo is in disarray because they waited too long to launch the Wii U. I know that this sounds like (and is) sour grapes because they didn't launch the Wii HD in 2009 or 2010 as I "predicted". They should have, and because they didn't, the decline in Wii and DS hardware and software sales drove them into generating LOSSES. For those of you who aren't financial analysts, losses mean that the company is worth less than it was before. Nintendo stock has dropped by over 80% in the last few years, and the market has appreciated over the same period. I'm paid to advise investors, and none have made a profit owning Nintendo stock. I don't think that many will make a profit over the next few years, because I don't think Nintendo's strategy will return them to profitability.
He kind of is like a reviewer of business decisions, who slags every business decision that Nintendo makes, even though they usually end up making the company shitloads of money.
ETHER
Which is no one, if we go by the number of people who own phones with capacitive screens rather than resistive ones.Except people who want a more accurate screen.
If the context above infuriates you, go back to school and pay attention, then read it again ;-)

Also lol @ 3DS' screen being more "accurate" than the iPhone's screen.
Yeah because the iPad doesn't exist, and no games that require accuracy are available for it.A phone for the Pocket is hardly the same as the controller for a home console

What about the impact of Yen in all this? Surely, the reason for losses are due to the 3DS price cut and Yen's appreciation. They may be selling less Wii and DS hardware, but afaik it's still profitable for them. And let's assume they released the Wii U in 2010, what can they do if Sony and MS arrive with significantly powerful machines 2-3 years later? I agree with your comment that the potential market for Wii U has dwindled a bit, though.Nintendo is in disarray because they waited too long to launch the Wii U.

Honestly, it's getting hard enough for not so famous GAFers to get a word in without it being distorted all to hell. I feel sorry for those of us here that have any level of notoriety.Glad to see you back, Mr. Pachter. I hope some of our less level-headed members won't scare you away again and you'll hang out with us on here in Sales-Age.
No worries. Judging by the explosive growth of tablets at the expense of PCs and the death of netbooks, every else doesTo this day I still fail to see the point to the ipad
Nintendo SW sales dropped from ¥433 bn to ¥293 bn from 2010-11; HW sales dropped from ¥625 bn to ¥468 bn. This reflects "disarray"
