This threads a joke. You are taking something out of context when it's a vague claim to begin with. Request for a clarification on his show if its bothering you so much.

I'm certainly not a Playstation fan so I have no clue about it, but I seriously doubt he's speaking out of his ass. He makes claims because he's an analyst, and they are unpopular because he's a business analyst. EA and Activision have extremely unpopular views on gaming as well, but they make a lot of money in the process.

These numbers and facts are hypothetical and are being pulled out of my ass but lets say he's referring to the sum total amount of first party games from sony over the last year, 4 of them are large games, 10 of them are region locked in japan and the rest are minigames.  Maybe pachter is referring  Sony's PSN content as being pathetic when compared to their rivals in the same category and timeframe.  

the problem is Pachter talks out his ass when it comes to Sony and Nintendo, i havent heard him say anything that became reality, in 2009 he stated ps3,x360 and wii were the final consoles, hes not a gamer and he makes the dumbest predicitons

 

here are some hes stated

Boderlands was "sent out to die" before its release and consequently 3+ million in sales and a sequal

- PREDICTION: March 2009, and Jul 2009, Pachter predicts "Grand Theft Auto 5" will arrive in 2010, and 2011, respectively. In December 2010, after noticing we were no closer to a "GTAV" release date, Pachter predicts "GTAV" would rear its head by 2012.
OUTCOME: No, no, and nope. Here we are in 2013, and Rockstar has yet to release the next "GTA" installment. Originally slated to release this Spring, Rockstar has since promised that we'll all have our hands on "GTAV

im not going to go and find more but what im saying is he just throws shit against the wall, hes no better then you lookin in the rumor section or a tabloid, eventually somethign will stick and be right if you throw enough on the wall.

Once again, that can be countered with "he's an analyst", it's his job to make guesses about the industry based on current trends. He's not an all seeing god, he is just saying what would make sense from a business perspective.  GTA5 probably would have been a good idea back in 2010/2011 if the company was activision or EA.  In reality though Take Two is very slow about rehashing old games.  He probably just has trouble taking off his EA hat and figuring out what a good company will actually say.  

Once again I reiterate my point.  This thread is talking down about a person making guesses about the gaming industry....!!!  THAT'S WHAT VGCHARTZ DOES!!!  This thread is a waste of time.


I don't like/dislike pachter, but your post is 100% accurate. I couldn't have said it better, and couldn't add anything to it. Well said. I will say this: I wish I had his job, he makes good money, just for making guesses. That's a sweet gig...
