2 years ago he said that 3DS would be easily overtaken by Vita and now he is saying the opposite. Pachter's rumours are either extremely narrow or blatantly obvious. I can see continued success for 3DS because it is a fantastic system with an amazing library and Nintendo and Japanese third-parties are continually supporting it; but I can also see Sony doing many things with Vita in the future to make room for it in the market, the system has a decent library and features.

Actually he said vita was doomed before release...

Actually, Patcher stated ""I think the launch lineup is better, and they are at the same price, so assume that Vita is ahead of 3DS for first 3 months."

When psvita came up, 3ds was 80usd cheaper, that assumption was made when both system have the same price. Plus, doesnt change the fact that he doomed psvita way before launch (better sales than 3ds means nothin if the system is struggling)

When did he doom PSV before launch? Can you please provide the link to this as I have not been able to find anything. Also this quote was made after the 3DS price drop, when the sales were picking up steam and very far from struggling.

"I think the launch lineup is better, and they are at the same price, so assume that Vita is ahead of 3DS for first 3 months."

Yeah sure..

Regardless if his quote was innacurate about the price level, it was still made after the 3DS price drop which occured in June 2011. This quote was taken from December 2011 as the Vita was launching in Japan. Therefore my statement was correct. You also have not provided a link to when he apparently claimed Vita would be a failure (prior to launch). The only thing I could find was his original statement in January 2011 of 3DS outselling PSP2, which then changed December of the same year and of course has changed again.

12/04/2010 a year prior the launch of the psvita...

Also, your first link seems BS.

A simple google search seems to result in this being heavily posted throughout many forums and was not call B.S (which usually false statements get called out pretty quick). It was apparently a tweet to a response about Vita not selling as much as 3DS in it's first week or something along those lines. 

The video where he states PSP2 being DOA doesn't suprise me. The man has flip flopped more that Mitt Romney.
