I suggest you read my posts again as you apparently misread them. I wasnt "dishing anything out" I was commenting on Pachter and his horrible estimate/prediction/reasoning for this claim and you insulted me personally. I made condescending comments regarding Pachter and his estimates and said nothing toward you and even had my comments been directed at you they werent attacks on you personally the way you did to me.
On topic. Lets also not forget that the One is selling at would be record numbers if not for the PS4 so this idea of "losing potential profit" that Pachter is using is in and of itself flawed because hes just extrapolating One sales to the PS4 as if they exist in a vacuum. To lose out on potential profit he must have a crystal ball that tells him the One would have sold an extra 2 million had MSFT made different decisions, which he obviously cant know which makes this claim silly. He has no idea how many more consoles MSFT would have sold without Kinect, or any decisions being differently, let alone be able to pinpoint 2 million.
He is an amateur. The same way as people on this site predict outlandish things in a bubble without any thought, rationale or logic. People claim games are successes or failures based on number of copies sold or meta scores without considering dev cost, staffing, dev time, DLC work, office space many things that go into a game being profitable and not just sheer totals. This is why Pachter fails. He makes similar estimates and comments on complex things in rudimentary terms.
