Michael Pachter 2016: NX ain’t gonna sell that well on launch.
Switch: sold extremely well on launch.
Michael Pachter: it ain’t gonna sell that well in years time.
Switch: sells well and continues to dominate every year.
Michael Pachter: angry Michael Pachter noises
I mean if he made his predictions not sound like facts then maybe he could have been right for once, just saying.
Michael Pachter gets paid by microsoft and sony to bash Nintendo…since Nintendo has proved him wrong time and time again…people just ignore him. He is just a propaganda machine.
