Perpetually wrong
Michael Pachter (who I can now cite after my April ban), gets another thing completely wrong:
[The Netflix on Wii] success flies in the face of analyst predictions that the Wii launch of the service would have only a limited impact. Previously Webush Securities’ Michael Pachter predicted that “the Wii installed base will embrace the Netflix service only gradually”.
Pachter estimated that less than 20 per cent of Wii users were connected online, compared to 75 to 80 per cent for the Xbox 360. However, a recent study by The Diffusion Group suggested that the figure for the Wii was actually as high as 54 per cent.
Sorry for the uncharacteristically long post. In this case the laughter these two paragraphs created was worth the minor transgression.
