| Reasonable said: Seriously, with so little history to go on, a current market situation that seems to defy the previous, relatively stable gens with their winners and losers, its pretty clear to me that the analysts are more or less clutching at straws. They also appear to be maddeningly inconsistent in agreeing what factors matter and which don't. So, working on the basis that a correct guess by accident is simply a happy fluke, I'll more or less ignore this in the same manner as most recent analysis. |
| The said: laughable. And what he says about blu-ray should cost him his job. A $300 Blu-ray player which happens to play games and download HD movies/shows? how about when it its $250 or $225? he assumes this generation will end in 2011 or something, like MS would have made any money enough out of the 360 by then to be in position to replace it with a new console. Ridiculous. Both companies are in this for the long run, and I honestly can't see how the 360 is overacheiving anything just by being the cheapest console in its 4th/peak year. |

| Dodece said: First I would like to say it isn't the original posters job to post articles or commentaries he does not necessarily agree with. He doesn't even have to be unbiased. He isn't a journalist, and he is not acting as one. He is posting on a debate forum so he should be posting material that argues his stance. Instead of bitching and playing the victim why not motivate yourself to go dig up a counter argument to match his own. Why should he do his job and your job. This griping does not invalidate his point. Second I want to see evidence that this is not the case from those bitching or making wild claims. Not supposition, not what you feel, not what you want, not what the magical bunny living under your bed told you. If these claims are so wrong you must certainly have some kind of proof for this. To me the statements seem fairly obvious, and they are backed up with facts. Third is anyone going to debate the facts. The PS3 has lost in global weekly sales according to this site for well over half a year now. In fact difference between the consoles grows every week. Follow the bread crumbs, and the conclusion is thoroughly logical. By the end of next year the PS3 will be fifteen to twenty million behind the 360. Fourth does anyone think we are going to move beyond the PS3 will win once this happens crap is going to end this year or next year. Seriously it really has gotten old. |
| wholikeswood said: "because Turn 10's Forza 3 is the definitive racing game of this generation" WHAT THE FUCK? Seriously, I'm amazed more of you aren't talking about this. Not only is it ludicrous of him to suggest that Forza 3's existence will greatly mitigate the effect of GT5, but he's actually labelled Forza 3 "definitive of this generation" months before it's even been released. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. Please say someone else was equally as lost for words when they read that garbage. |
| Mummelmann said: The gap hasn't changed one way or the other in 8-9 months without either getting a pricecut. There is nothing to suggest that Pachter is right, but there is nothing to suggest he's wrong either, for that matter. All that remains to be seen is what kind of an impact (if any) further pricecuts will have on both machines. Regardless; Pachter is usually full of shit (as we all know) and it is always funny to see how his predictions pan out and fall on their asses. |
| superchunk said: Funny how about a year or so ago he was saying the exact opposite. I haven't read the whole thread and surely someone has already posted the link, but I distinctly remember him saying PS3 was going to comeback to 1st place by 2012 or something. But, that was when PS3 was only 7 million behind 360 and half Wii sales. I guess now that it is about 8 million behind and still less than half Wii sales it has no chance. lol!! |
| atma998 said: ''recent GfK data reveiled that the 360 has been outselling even the Wii by 2:1 in the United Kingdom during the last five months.'' I thought those numbers were supposed to be a joke... this analyst cannot be taken seriously. |
| darthdevidem01 said: @wholikeswood nope, gebx posted it he goes through every place on the internet to find Anti-PS3 news however terrible the source & posts it |
| BMaker11 said: Many analysts say the PS3 will catch up. VGC user responses "They are just stupid and they don't know what they're talking about" One random analyst says the PS3 won't catch up. VGC user responses "Looks like somebody has no way to respond to the truth, so he's going ad hominem instead.. How sad..." |
| Smashed said: More analysts speaking out of their asses! Grats, you've just accomplished life failure. Silly silly analysts, where do you go wrong? |
Hahaha!
This thread is pure gold!
