Pachter Wrong Again

I'm at a loss for words.....


"We do not expect price cuts for the Xbox One or PlayStation 4," he said. "We do not expect Microsoft to permanently cut the price of the Xbox One without Kinect from $399, instead focusing on compelling bundles with first- and third-party content, with some of the applicable games included as free pack-ins."

"Although the price of the Xbox One has been discounted by $50 for much of 2015, we believe that the price will revert back to $399 by the time that the holidays arrive, particularly if sales pick up," he continued.

Then a few hours later.

Microsoft has made the previous 500GB Xbox One discount permanent.

We should only make threads about Pachter when he is right.

So there would barely be any threads about Pachter.

It's almost as if Patcher has no idea what he's on about, is anyone shocked at this point?

Hilarious. The only thing I can think of is his bosses are actually less competent than him, and use him as a shield.

He is a joke...I wish I could just spew nonsense and get paid for it.

Pachter makes cake off firing out of his ass... Anyone else a little jelly?

I would love to see a time when he was right, on purpose smh.

I enjoy it when it makes his videos mocking people who mock him. I wouldn't hesitate to say there were several dozen people on SW who could do as good a job as he does. (please note SW this is not a vindication of you :P )

I'm very jealous! It is seriously impossible to be any worse at a job than he is. Yet the man has a steady paycheck.....

Example - "Pachter has also commented on the entertainment industry more generally. In 2005, he recommended selling Netflix stock and buying Blockbuster stock, predicting that Blockbuster would hold the video-on-demand market."

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well, he's a video games analyst. That is pretty much the bottom rung as far as financial analysts, go. If he were better at his job, he wouldn't be doing video games.

You could have a 9 year old flip a coin and better predict the gaming market/industry better than Pachter. I wonder if Wedbush Morgan listens to him, or uses his analysis and goes with the opposite.......

Wait. That must be it! He is wrong more than most Analysts are right! So his "analysis" is more consistent.

When was last time that Patcher was correct? I can't remember! (for real)

Pachter is an invaluable analyst. If he says something...do the opposite and you'll get a win.

Again?

You mean like usual

Does seem he gets paid a lot to guess.

How is this news, when he's never been right?

@GarGx1: Exactly and he's always wrong.

I want his job, make stuff up and get paid for it. Sounds like an awesome gig

Well put Dave. This guy probably makes six figures and thinks he is some guru. He is an idiot.

That's because he's thinking like a financial analyst and not remembering this is MS we are talking about. MS has to be taking it on the chin hard for this price to be at $349. Then they go and release 5 exclusives into a crowded fall window which means a lot of people will be skipping them until the price drops in 2016. That's game revenue out the window. It especially makes no sense in the case of Tomb Raider which they spent a bunch of money to get as a timed exclusive. You'd figure they'd want a return on that investment.

MS wants to say they are #1 even if they have to hemorrhage cash while they are doing it.

You're just as bad as him.

Dave I am shocked that you are so abrasive towards me. You should get an Xbox One so we can be friends. We can play Halo 2 Remastered and yes......I'll let you be Master Chief while I am the Arbiter.

The we can go for a pint at the local Ale House and talk about E3 predictions.

No need to be hateful.

@FoxbatAlpha: Have one, would rather rip my tongue out.

You need a special kind of talent to be wrong all the time like that.

That is right! You do have a Xbox One! So can we be friends? You would rather rip your tongue out instead of play Xbox with me or have a pint? I'm so confused Dave.....

Trust me, the day I add you or NyaDC is the day I rip my tongue out and jump off a bridge and that isn't happening.

So you got pwnd on a few arguments on here and your console and game choice is poor. I'm not holding that against you. That will stay on these boards, I promise. You know we could actually become great friends outside of here. Don't rip out your tongue and certainly don't jump off a bridge.

I promise by the time we finish Halo 2, you will feel a whole lot better.

Well, to be fair, $350 is more like a liquidation price since they're moving on to selling the 1TB model. Once the 500GB models are gone then they're gone. Then it will be the 1TB model selling for $400 that will likely be discounted $50 off and on (but mostly ON)..

still very reliable.

if you are going to be wrong then be consistently wrong.

if i was an investor i would listen to him and just to the opposite of his suggestion. still works. still money in the bank :P.

Played Halo 2 and it sucked, you pwning anyone is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Let me be clear, I will NEVER add you or NyaDC, don't want lems on my lists.

I will get you to crack. You will have fun on Xbox Live if I have to bring strippers over and force Devils Cut down your throat.

No.

Well now I have to tell you a story. Once there was this little boy who no one wanted to be friends with and no one wanted to play with. Kids would be mean to him and come up.......................ah forget it.

You know you cant take the fanboyism to serious around here. You know outside of SW me and Heil68 (Cow King) get along great. Two kings and their kingdoms. No disrespect, just games. Let down your guard and come outside and play.

@FoxbatAlpha: I don't want to be your friend simple as, nothing to do with Xbox and PS, I just don't like you.

But why? What did I do? I am actually pretty cool to hang out with. I love drinking, hiking, cars. Hell, all sorts of things. Xbox is just one of my hobbies.

Simple: You annoy me.

What did NyaDC do to you? You confuse my love and support for Xbox as annoyance. You have to remember that I we all cant love Xbox on my level.

@FoxbatAlpha:

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU FANBOYING OVER XBOX, oh my god.

Even if you were a PS4, PC or WiiU fanboy I wouldn't feel differently, you're annoying to me and that's why I won't be your friend, know you're trolling but it's just weird.

reminds me of this

I was just passing time and wanted to see if you could open up to me Barbara Walters style. Plus, I am a fan, a huge fan of Xbox, not a fanboy. A fanboy can see no wrong like most Sony Ponies and cows do. A true fan sticks by but can acknowledge faults.

Except you're a fanboy, sorry.

Also nope, I don't open up with fanboys I'm afraid.

Haha you take System Wars waaaaay too seriously.

Go home Pachter, you're drunk.

@GreySeal9: I take SW seriously?

News to me.

Cows calling others fanboys...........rich.

Who cares what Patcher says the guy is a clown that doesn't deserve attention.

Why do we continue to talk about Pachter if he's never right?

He could actually be a great fortune teller.

Anything he says, the opposite will happen

A broken clock is right twice a day... this guy is just not right.
