Does anyone else think Sony might have contacted him and asked him to retract his statement? What he has said, thanks to Yahoo spreading it, could severely hurt Sony regardless of whether or not there is a price cut coming. Millions of people have now seen "The PS3 is getting a price cut!" as if it were solid fact (whether or not it is), and I highly, highly doubt that's what Pachter's intentions were. In fact, considering the predictions he has made I'd say he was hoping for the opposite effect.

Why am I the first to post this?

That's one of three possibilities (none of which necessarily excludes the others). The other two are:

2) He made his prediction before the estimates on Sony's losses were leaked last week. He realized that would at the least postpone a price cut, but didn't want to admit he spoke too soon.

3) He's just a giant douche.
