Controversial Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter says if the Wii U continues to be neglected by third party publishers and developers by the holiday season then ‘stick a fork in it’. Pachter says that the majority of Wii U owners will be unhappy about missing out on FIFA and Call of Duty if the console isn’t supported this holiday season and they will subsequently purchase a second console, such as PlayStation 4 or Microsoft’s Xbox One.Seeing how people bought a 360 or PS3 to go along with their Wii, How is this a bad for Nintendo?
“There are about 30 million Nintendo fans who will buy the console. Unfortunately 90% of them will be unhappy about missing out on 3rd parties such as FIFA or Call of Duty if the platform isn’t supported after the holidays. They will get a 2nd console as a result of that. In order for Nintendo to sell more than those 30 million fans they need 3rd party support. Otherwise stick a fork in them.”
Pachter: If Wii U lacks 3rd-party support after the holidays, Stick A folk in it

Uh the Wii U is getting COD: Ghosts. So whatever. Also I'm not part of the 90%. Sigh, why do people still listen to this guy? This is the same person that said the 3DS was going to fail. The 3DS is doing great, even better now that AC is out.

I've seen like 3 people in the industry say the CoD isn't getting a Wii U release when it is...

Just wondering, is anyone actually listening to anything he says??? He says anything he can grab his mouth on. There's probably no one in the world who takes him seriously anymore besides his boss...

Lets not push it that far...
As for what he says Obviously there's not gonna be any third party on the system after the holidays! When Devs realize they're gonna need time to develop for it!

I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.
We foot will rebel one day.

The funny thing is he kept bashing the 3DS and the 3DS is like the best selling handheld of all time, lol. Why doesn't he bash the PS Vita? No one cares for that thing anymore

Of course 3rd parties are not going to jump on it. Unless he means announcements. But even then, actual games are going to be missing from Wii U for some time.

why did you link that
My bad I misread your comment. It look like it said "I read that it wasn't getting Cod from 3 different sources".

Patcher needs to learn that using his mouth is a privlage, not a right.
Seriously when does this guy say anything right, i know it's not his job to hate on nintendo but just about everything he says is wrong. Why is he still in the job, in fact why are most gaming analysts still in the job, so many are just so bad at what they do.
This is where it ends
