Analyst expecting Bully 2

PS2 News | Wow, it must be true then.

We've seen plenty of analysts contradict each other, but here's a new one; an analyst contradicting himself. This is exactly what analyst Michael Pachter has done. A few months ago Pachter suggested that a sequel to Bully (known as Canis Canem Edit in PAL regions) was "highly unlikely".

Pachter has done a complete backflip though, when speaking to GamePolitics he stated that he was"consistently wrong about this title, I thought it would be stupid, and it was fun; I thought it would get poor reviews, and it got solid 90s; and I thought it would bomb, while it now appears to be a million unit seller".

"I did not expect a sequel, while now I have to acknowledge that a sequel is a possibility. I never hesitate to take credit when I'm right, and I never hide from my mistakes," Pachter continued. We wouldn't be pencilling in Canis Canem Edit 2 just yet though.

If you're gonna pull Pachter up on his mistakes to generate news, at least don't give one reason to pull you up on yours (particularly within the article).

EDIT: Sorry if that was a bit rough.

good on him for admitting his error in judgement, he could've just come out saying it'll happen, without mentioning his previous "it won't happen" attitude.

as for whether it'll happen, well, i don't see why it wouldn't, if it sold well enough.

Next he'll be analysing his company's performance on analysing the analyst's world of analysing Videogame Trends and their analysis' accuracy.

What grade of school was he in? if it was senior school, the sequel could be a workplace bullying game maybe. Getting jobs in a factory done (minigames) and dodging the manager and floor manager to go out and fish. Maybe its a stupid idea, but it could become a link between bully and GTA somehow.

Just random thoughts really. But I have enjoyed what I have played so far of this game and a sequel in whatever form would be great.

I was intrigued by the premise of the original Bully but unfortunately I don't have a PS2 to play it on. I'd love to see a sequel on the Xbox 360 though, who knows maybe after they've released a couple of new GTA games it might happen.
