Predict: Word of the day.

Patcher has to admit the only thing - his predictions fail to be true with the ratio 1 to 10

[Omegasyde]

agreed. I hope he kept his day job.

He even thinks he's the nostradamus of gaming. This guy is a joke.

[timmyp53]

they defended their views/opinions of their financial forecast but they admitted they weren't always right.. but alot of the time are.

[hella whip]

There's far worse fanboys out there than push and spread falls rumors and things like that. I think Micheal Pachter is netrual just speculates on certain things. Like the GTA IV delay due to PS3. I'm a PS3 fan and I would guess the same thing, I think the PS3 probably had a lot to do with it. I mean everything we had heard and seen was about the XBOX 360 version. Not to mention the developers said there behind on the PS3 version.

Also speculation on how the PS3 version was gonna be a crap port and things like that. And now suddenly they say hold your horses the game isn't ready. It looks like GTA IV will be done right on both consoles.

You just add things up, and there's certianly a reason why it seems like it's the PS3 that slowed the GTA IV release down.

Rockstar never said the reason for the further delay. They made a comment about the limitations of DVD being a challenge but didn't say it couldn't be overcome and in the same sentence said BOTH systems had limitations.

You are doing a crappy job just like Pachter on your analysis because right now it's just as much fault of the PS3 as it is the 360 for the delay..

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

don`t mind RAZER he`s been BITTER since E3.

It may not be as accurate as most people would like but it's still insightful and entertaining. I hope the two analyst explain their take on the GTA 4 delay next episode.

The episode is already taped but they make us wait a whole week to view the next part. I would prefer if they made new episodes of different topics (of the bonus round) each week instead of the "to be continued" deal.
