Pachter: Wii U projected attach rate 'unrealistic'

article published on 25 October, 2012

Nintendo's numbers are too optimistic, Pacther believes. The Wii U console launches in just a few weeks time, and Nintendo is projecting about 5.5 million units to be sold in the 2013 financial year.

No doubt this statement will be followed up with "PS4" teaser images and leaked graphics of projects in works to pursuade people not to buy a Wii U. Catch my drift?

Who buys a system and within a year haven't purchased four games? How is it "highly unrealistic" that people will want to play games on their system? I've already preordered Mario and ZombiU in addition to NintendoLand that comes with the system. So I need two more in a year... Rayman is being hyped as a must play for the system, and it seems Pikmin 3 is enough to buy a system for many. This guy has his head up someone's ass!

I love jackhole analysts.. They spit out controversal crap just to keep themselves in the headlines to fill their own ego. I pre-orderd my Wii U with 2 games (3 if you count Nintendoland that comes with the premium system) so I do not think a 4 to 1 ratio is at all unrealistic. It would be 5 to 1 if they had a Zelda game coming out in the next year.
