A much better read than the bombastic tirades that I've read in the forums. The thing about Pachter that a lot of people don't seem to get (at least this is the impression I get from reading a lot of the hate-filled comments about him around the web) is that most of the statements he makes on Pach Attack, Bonus Round, etc. are just his public/personal opinions and often have little, if anything, to do with his actual job title--which is a stock market analyst.

As Pachter has himself stated, the stocks that he covers about 20 stocks which includes the major video game publishers so that's why he knows more about the video game industry than your typical stock market analyst. But at the end of the day he's still a financial analyst, so obviously his knowledge about the video game industry is going to be mainly on the business side of things. With these facts in mind, it's pretty easy to understand why he says the things he says.

Couldn't agree more. It cracks me up when people get so pissed off when hes wrong about the Wii HD or whatever. That's just his personal opinion and has nothing to do with his job. Saying that he dosen't deserve his job because he is wrong the majority of the time is just ridiculous. And for all the people saying that he dosent work long hours, you obviously have no idea how much time and hard work it takes to get to his position. Even if he only works 50 to 60 hours a week now, I guarantee you he was working 70 to 80 hours a week to move up and get that job.

ehh seems kinda.... dumb.  i am not impressed

BC? "

Backwards Compatible. So what's with everyone following my example? :P I buy a PS3, and suddenly everyone has to buy a PS3! Never knew I was such a trendsettter.  "

I went into Best Buy to buy a PS3 a few weeks ago, but walked out with a black Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2, with extra money in my pocket. I've already got an Xbox and Blu Ray player... I don't think I'll be getting a PS3 any time soon (But I DO want to play the exclusives, but not enough to pay $300 + games). I'll get one ASAP, but I've got college and shit to pay for... Also, I'm loving the Wii, surprisingly. "

i love the 360 controller for shooters, but for any other game i prefer the dualshock

haha well that was fast...   http://www.giantbomb.com/news/first-modern-warfare-2-map-pack-hits-xbox-360-on-march-30/1905/

" @Yukoei: You don't level until Chapter 3, you go in a straight line for 12 of the 13 chapters (Chapter 11 too if you want), the battles are overly simplistic once you Scan something (which only costs 1TP) and you can just go on Auto-Attack and the CPU does an amazing job of doing all the right things (still have to manually do "limit break" attacks), side quests aren't so good once you get to Mission 50 and realize where this is going.    Story is really bad and you feel like the full story is going to be told in Agito and Versus, Lightning and Snow are the two biggest bitches....and Hope is a fucking kid that never stops crying about his mom dying.  OH BAWWW MY MOM DIED AND I CANT HELP ANYONE!    But it's a decent trip, I'm being overly critical because it does not deserve 90% or higher and I'm perfectly content with it being in the 80%...and I haven't sold my copy back because I like to collect FF first prints in Japan (almost all of them have shiny holo-foil covers), plus the FF14 code made it bareable.  :) "
