Forums - Sales Discussion - PS4 sales could hit 175 million if Sony drops price to $200, says Pachter

“I think Sony could go as high as 120-140 million pretty easily... And what I am most encouraged about is that the PS4 Slim is priced at $249- we’re seeing a faster degradation of the price curve for the PS4 than we saw for the PS3. That’s pretty impressive.

“And it’s the same with Xbox- you know, the Xbox 360, I don’t think it ever got below $300. Certainly you had sales, but I think the official price was $299 back when the Xbox One launched. So seeing the two major consoles at $249, barely three years after launch, is a really good sign. And if we can get a PS4 for $199, or $149, yes, they’re going to sell a ton of them.”

“Yeah, cheap is good,” he continued. “I mean, let’s be real, most people on the planet think that $400 is a lot of money. And most people on the planet appreciate that $300 is less than $400, and $200 is even less. Cheaper is better. And we know that McDonalds sells more hamburgers than restaurants sell stakes, because hamburgers cost a dollar, and stakes cost $20. So, you can feed yourself for a dollar instead of $20- it just makes sense. So if you dropped the price of a console to $200 – if Sony were able to – I think they could go as high as 175 million.”

Oh god, it's not SOME ANALYST... it's PACHTER.

Regardless, 120 million is the highest I see it reaching.



Dear god, no. That's way too much. I can see the PS4 exceeding 100 million.



I normally tend to not even bother reading the stuff this guy says but fuck me have I been missing out.

"people on the planet appreciate that $300 is less than $400, and $200 is even less."

That man is a Genius.

They could also reach 500 million if they just give it out for free.

If they preinstalled Porn on it, then it could sell >1 billion :p.

Oh Pachter...



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Was thinking this, they can basically just produce the consoles, and then have the production line end going into a rubbish skip, will increase the numbers of ps4 that they move by a near infinite % Just what goes through that mans head when he says some things... well... I guess what goes through his mind is money which he gets because people quote him around the world, pretty sad really.

Oh Pachter...

You could watch people using the PS4Eye before to stream stuff... less so now, they've cracked down on it a lot but, yeah, heard that originally the ps4 pretty much had porn streaming from other "gamers" lol.
