 Another user said Pachter said if the console manufacturers do something special it will cost upwards of 800$. However later in the same video he says a thousand dollar hardware investment for next gen consoles. What does he consider special? The Wii was special, the PS3's cell was special. The 360's graphics at launch were special.

Seriously any advancement of technology is special. He doesn't clarify this instead refers to consoles selling at 800-1000$. That is exactly what he said.

I was that user lol.

Later in the video he does mention a hypothetical $1000 system price to show the appeal of a $100 cloud computer system, he also mentions the hypothetical situation where the consoles are priced competitively to the cloud. No-where does he predict what the consoles will cost, he just gives several possibilities.

So people can actually hear what he said for themselves.
