So yeah, Michael Pachter, everybody knows who he is. If you don't, he hates Nintendo. And by that, I mean he excludes facts to make them look bad. Even when they're successful, Pachter says they're in trouble. He's basically the leader of the Nintendo Hate Wagon.
Anyways, his prediction was that the WiiU sold only about 80k in February. Which, let's be honest, isn't that surprising because besides a few eShop games (Bit Trip Runner 2 <3), there were no games released at all. Legends speak of a platforming game that was supposed to come out, but who knows if that was true or not.

I do wonder if he's ever tired of being wrong about stuff. And for those of you who don't know, he's wrong more often than he is right.

"The Wii sold nearly double our estimate as the Wii U vastly underperformed our expectations, likely due to a relatively thin release slate and an unusual number of returns. It is difficult to envision a turnaround in Wii U hardware sales without a price cut or until more compelling software becomes available, but we think that weekly sales of 20,000 units is likely. We think that the long-term appeal of the console will be severely limited by the perception that the next consoles from Microsoft and Sony will be much more powerful with greater online integration and multimedia functionality.
