Pachter predicts the length of Wii’s momentum (Hilarious!)

[mike_intellivision]

Just to clear up a few things

Patcher is right that a lower price will help the PS3. Of course, so would more better games.

However, anything he says regarding the Wii must be taken with a grain of salt -- or maybe a shaker of salt. He has been predicting Sony's domination since the beginning. And like many analysts, he cannot stand it when facts don't pack up his predictions. So he makes new ones. (Almost sounds like a fanboy).

Also studies have shown that Wii buyers are more affluent ... so the price arguement does not hold as much water as people make it out to be(@routsounmanman).

That being said, the Wii can be dropped in price at least $50 without leading to losses -- that is assuming that no cost-of-production lowering has occured. (It probably will eventually be able to hit a $150 pricepoint).

Also, if third-parties start making good games for it the way they eventually came out to do on the Wii ... then it will not be able to be headed.

(Remember, people thought the PSP would doom the DS ... Did it?)
