I don't think MS would but they can easily afford the fines

People say he’s always wrong. But dude is a literal analyst, and gets paid for it. People with lots of money to gain/lose trust his opinion.

I’ll take that over random twitter posters

“Wii U will sell like hotcakes despite negative comments from press and industry, industry analyst Michael Pachter believes”

Don’t even gotta go that far back, he’s been wrong about every step of this acquisition as well.

Reminder. Michael Pachter has gotten pretty much everything wrong with this merger:

• Dec 08 : Claimed Lina Khan would not sue -> WRONG
• Oct 04 : FTC is not goint to block -> WRONG
• Apr 28 : 10% chance of FTC lawsuit
• Feb 24 : stock market see's 50/50 view -> WRONG
• Pretty sure I heard him on one of the talkshows say the CMA would OK the deal as well

One of my favorites from him:

Y’all still arguing about something y’all have no control over when y’all could be playing games?

How the fukk is a semi-realistic open-world historical samurai drama like Ghost of Tsushima anything similar to an anime-style dungeon crawler/friendship sim JRPG like Persona 5?

Pachter is proof that if you're a white man in a suit, people will pay you money to give your opinion no matter how stupid it is.

They’ve always said COD would stay multiplat.

It’s like the whole internet is retarded on this issue

Not for ten years. Sony wants it permanent. So do the regulators

10 years is just a number. Don’t know how you would put “forever” in a contract but however they need to word it for the CMA they will do so.

Very simple really. Perpetuity.

Yeah but what if the next playstation is hologram only or some shyt.

There’s got to be some type of reasonable protection for microsoft. An always/forever contract is not really feasible.

Because gamers just remember and amplify the times he was wrong.

He’s a financial analyst obviously he’s making somebody some money.

I think he just not good on gaming cultural stuff or whats gonna be popular or not. But he is good at predicting where money will/should go.
