I keep getting a "disc read error" when I try to play FIFA and NHL, the discs are fine so I'm not sure what's going on. Has anybody else had issues with this?

Analyst predictions....but no real surprise that the new God of War and Gears of War games probably had shitty sales.

Sounds like your Xbox is about to shit the bed.

For some reason EA sports games routinely seem to be the first to be unreadable by the DVD drive.

If you haven't already, install your games. It will give you as much time as possible on a console that is probably on its last leg.

Your console is about to die most likely.

He's referring to his 360.

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, has said that there is little hope of sales of the Wii U picking up anytime soon. The analyst also adds that "only 55,000 Wii U consoles were sold domestically in March," which is down from February's sales of 66,000 units, and January's sales of 57,000 units.

Pachter also doesn't think the Japanese company can do anything to help sales, where he adds "fortunes appear unlikely to improve for several months, even if Nintendo decides to drop [the] price, as there are an insufficient number of core titles that are generating interest in the console".

He's actually right...this time. But keep in mind that he's the same toolbox that said that the WiiU was going to be a huge success and be THE Christmas gift of 2012. He and Shipwreck from CAG are some the worst "analysts" in the history of gaming.

Pachter also has a unhealthy obsession with mobile games.

And M$. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on their payroll. Apparently he already declared them the "winner" of next gen and they still haven't even released any details about their next console. What an idiot.

How does Pachter still get work?

I have no clue. He's right less often than a fucking weatherman.
