Forums - Sales Discussion - Pachter: Aimed low on price of Natal, DSi XL not successful at launch

Also,  the PSP GO has the pause game feature, Bluetooth features, internet Cellphone feature, and the 16GB HDD.

Yeah, more features I'll never use make handheld even better! ^_^ I bet, reviewers at CNET love those things, isn't this traditional technophile mentality?

How did this turn into a PSP Go thread.


Make a DS that is Download only, and see how much it sells. This is the same DSI, just bigger.

I really hope DSi XL doesn't sell mroe than PSP GO, because its the same thing.. basically except the PSP GO is smaller and actually has more features (without a UMD drive), and the DSi XL is $20 more and extra larger.

How is taking something off more features?

 

Opposite to you, I expect better sales than PspGo. Selling less than that would just be awful x.x

I should have said significantly better, almost a boost like the DSi gave the DS' overal sales.

Also,  the PSP GO has the pause game feature, Bluetooth features, internet Cellphone feature, and the 16GB HDD.

DSI XL has two pre installed games  I believe, and its ALMOST twice the size of a DSi.

 

Aren't that brilliant marketing?



I agree with psrock. You can't really compare the two. However, I also don't see the XL selling as much as it did in Japan. I'm sure it will do better than the Go, but when the Wii is only $10 more, I think people will just go with smaller, cheaper DSi.

Oh and Patcher is an idiot. Only after ~a year of PR from MS, he finally realizes its not just a normal webcam and that the R&D, advertising, and tech is going to make Natal more expensive than the MS Live Cam. Good grief. Oh and this, "The more they and Sony charge, the lower unit sales of the competing controllers will be, and the less they charge, the higher." Uh, duh. Seriously, how does he still have a job making dumb predictons and only stating the obvious?



DSI XL nearly double the size of DSi, 93% to be quite precise, I think patcher loves his crow plus DSi XL will be a huge it in others and Amercias and also there's the pokemon remakes that will feed the hype.

Take away the ability to play UMD games, and give more multimedia features, and sell it as a gaming system. You see where that is going?



Seeing how well DS is still selling I have no clue how he comes to the conclusion that the DS is overpriced and needs a price cut...



.... and the Nintendo DSi XLs already started invading Amazon's top 10. A whole month before launch.

Pachter, you'll eat your words.



 

This douchebag is the biggest clown of the industry.

Seriously, the company that pays him his salary doesn't see how ridiculous and inaccurate he is?

To randomly talk shit and being captain obvious I can be paid too. Please hire me!
