He is right. Sony has 2 Gran Turismos coming out next year

He is talking about this year.

PSP is dead software-wise. Last week, there was not one single PSP game that crossed 10.000 in NA. PSP-Go with its $250 (€) price-tag won't help either.

PS2 won't have huge software sales either, some titles here and there in the top50, but nothing big

The PS3 has the problem with its userbase. It is just way too small to compete against Wii/X360/DS combined. And without GT5, there is no game that could compete against a Wii Sports Resort / Wii Fit Plus or a new Halo.

So in a word: Pachter fails.... AGAIN!

 

You are full of BS my friend, and have absolutly NO idea what you are talking about ;)

 

Despite heaving no game to sell over 10k in the US the PSP still moved over 212k software in the region and that number is after a downfall... also its obvious that some games are simply undertracked in the US like Rock Band Unplugged. Except this there is Japan where PSP software sales are ususally #1 or #2, depending if either the PSP or the DS gets a bigger release . Then there is Others where sales are probably just as good as in the US, tough there the tracking is pretty much impossible... add the DL games from the PSN and you have a system that even in a slow week can move 600k games at least ww... if thats dead then Im whitout words ;)

 

No sistem that can manage to push ~ 50 million games/year is dead... regardless the installbase...

The quote says "Sony consoles" not "Sony platforms."  Unless Pachter mispoke, that means the PSP isn't included.
