Thing here is you can't do the level of speculating you had.  It is WAY too presumptive.  We don't know the price of the Wii U, and certainly don't know what the next Playstation console will be or the price it will launch at.  Also, if people grow used to the second screen and like it better than now, then Sony will have problems.


I agree.

I personally try to avoid prediction business, because no one gives me even a cookie if I am right on the Internet, and doesn't pay me to be as wrong as Pachter is.  So, I try to avoid it.  All you do is look bad.  Of course, there is a perverse one where you predict the worse and take comfort in knowing you were right about worst case scenarios.  I still find that means you end up with a a pile of sux in the end.


I agree man, I want to become a tactical forecaster, sometimes the things that seems to be the most logical just doesn't happen.

What is a tactical forecaster?  I tried to google that and anything from predicting sales to Gundam came up.

Thing is, that is very possible the next Playstation model won't be the PS4.  The PS Vita was not the PSP 2.  And XBox 2 didn't exist, it became the XBox 360.  And then Nintendo threw me for a loop by actually having Wii as part of the next system they were releasing.  They never did that with a home console, that they kept the name of the system (well there is NES, SNES but they moved beyond that).

But hey, if you get paid for it, more power to you.  Just learn from Pachter than you can be horrendously wrong in predicting, but still get work.  Just find people with money that are really clueless and speak basic facts about what is, and get them to give you money.


hehehehe indeed its from Gundam, I love that show! I dont wanna become a forecaster or analyst, i'm predicting because its fun! If it was my job I would not enjoy it lol.
