Mr. Michael Pachter had probably never heard of a games console until he was told he got the job!

Why did anyone ever START listening to this guy? Has he ever been right? It seems he just showed up one day and people assumed that because he was wearing a suit and tie and used big “business” words that he was credible…

That’s some of the funniest stuff I’ve read today.
What a complete idiot. How can he justify his cheap PS3 statement about no blu-ray?
That’s one of the biggest selling points of the console, being able to play PS3 games.

I wish I was an analyst, christ people with money really are blind when it comes to business. Why on earth would you want to use someone like this to invest your money.

How about these for reasons behind the PS3 eventually overtaking the XBox in worldwide sales?

* The PS3 will get a firmware upgrade to allow the disc drive to turn bread into toast by overheating the inside and simply letting it cook.
* The PS3’s dualshock will double up as a steering wheel for your car alongside the motion wand used for the gearstick and indicator controls.
* Using a burning facility built into the PS3 it can turn a blu-ray disc into a actual laser for home improvement e.g. burning down walls to turn two rooms into one big one.
* A special cable will be available soon so the PS3 can turn your standard definition TV into a HD TV right before your very eyes.

And I didn’t need a 200 or so document of blah.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I would love an analysts job where I get paid a fortune to talk complete shite, contradict myself and occasionally get things right…

There are prats like Prachter all over the place. Its just a shame that they have a voice at all, but its an even bigger shame that they make such huge piles of money by dolling out bad market research!

Great article, and a superb level of pickiness.

My turn… Is the coffee comment a play on Redbush… TEA?

My god , these people are making serious financial decisions in the world and directing serious business investments . It now becomes very clear how we came across the situation we are now in .
Really , its worrying that they’ve had little or no consultancy on the games industry from an outside source , how many man hours and money went into this 210 sheet toilet roll that claims to be the “blueprint” of this generations console future ?
I need to stop writing this and go build an Ark or an Anderson Shelter because the world is officially about to fall apart because this man and Kim Jong Il !
Run !!

I’ve heard of this guy, obviously, and I think my mum could make more sense.
His predictions = Sometimes right.
His logic = Maybe the investors have too big a share in that.

And this guy earns money with this advice?

The only time he was bang on the money, was when he said the PSPgo was a rip off, and then he later retracted that statement.
