Wii sales decline 'runs deeper' than supply constraints, says Pachter

Following the disappointing February sales data, a number of analysts weighed in on the results. While sales were expected to be down, it seems the final tally was a bit lower than expected. Part of it has to do with continued declines in the music games genre, and another major contributor is the drop-off in Wii sales.

Things are always the opposite of what this guy says. His new name should be Mr. Opposite Man ;)

According to this idiot Wii is already dead and nobody ever bought one to begin with leaving Nintendo in last place.

The only people that listen to him or want to hear from here are clueless fanboys. They don't care about the source, they only see something negative about Nintendo so it must be 100% true.

The only thing pachter knows is that pachter doesn't know diddly.

willie62895582d ago

For real? I'm really starting to wonder who bank rolls this guy. And still scratching my head to find a reason why he's relevant or quoted as frequently as he is. He's a tool.

EvilTwin5582d ago

He'll say anything to make a headline.

N4g_null5582d ago

Hey there is an article about the stock market being very very involved in the hd market. So we arE dealing with some thing far worst than fan boys wait till you decide to deal with day traders and the prefolio men lol. A while back a lot of investors got pretty mad at Sony. That's why their was a shake up.

Check out gamasutra for the details. There was so many looking for a job at gdc and countless more looking for deals. I think every one is about to go the agent way pretty soon. It's really too bad we don't have a draft or develpment league. The resession is looking even worst right now. Scary stuff but we will survive.

E3 is going to be hillarious. Normal mapped Zelda in the wings?

Mista T5583d ago

you know Patcher says a lot of things...

Tony-A5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

I should apply to be an analyst! :D

To his credit, he has predicted some things that have come true, tho.

@below: ain't that the truth. haha

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.

Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.

Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
