Forums - Sales Discussion - Pachter Time: All consoles'll drop prices this year

 

Yep cut everything... why not?

"We fully expect each of the three consoles to be offered at lower prices in 2011, with Sony likely leading the way as its manufacturing costs continue to decline. A $50 price cut should be sufficient to drive 5% software sales growth; and, coupled with a resurgence in handheld software sales and an easy comparison for music sales, we think that overall software sales growth could hit low double digits in 2011." - Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter

I'd like to get paid to state the obvious and make dumbass predictions that are incorrect most of the time.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Dang, he could actually be right, maybe wrong for the 360 but right for the most.

????????  The 360 hasn't cut price since 2008.

I've been saying this for a while and its a pretty obvious prediction.  But, hey, blame the media for asking the man for a prediction every 15 minutes and then making it a story (and then the requisite gaming forum thread ...).



Next time, Pachter predicts that Moon can be seen at night.

Actually the 360 had its price cut the same week the ps3 slim was revealed in 2009. It was just overshadowed but the ps3 slim at the time.
