"Pachter said that parents like himself very well might take a look at the Nintendo 3DS compared to the PlayStation Phone and, if they are priced similarly, just might be wooed into choosing a PlayStation Phone for their kids since it offers them in-depth gaming as well everything else today's tech-savvy youngsters want (phone, texting and access to the Internet)."

I thought they said a similar thing when the PSP and DS first came out.

Wiat, what?  3DS can't access the Interwebz and doesn't come with Pictochat?

Pachter is talking in the context of "parents like himself", so that part of the population who is either oblivious to the obvious or flat out clueless.

Well played.

 

But in that case, parents would simply get them a subsidized iPhone and be done with it.  So Pachter is oblivious to reality and still called the wrong prediction from that oblivious position.
