Forums - Gaming - Pachter Predicts December 2011 NPD resultz and shares hardware/software estimates ~ VGC Analysts disagree!

Why the heck would PS3 go up 800k month over month with few deals and no $199 bundles, yet 360 only go up 600k with tons of deals through the month ... I think Pachter looks to much at the previous months performance, as this is a trend.

- 1.7 million (up 41 percent) PS3 units
 

Interesting.

VGC has X360 at 2.8 million and PS3 at 1.2 million.

Who told you...

Just checked, last 6 months, he's underestimated X360



 

I think we can work out what Wii will be after Nintendo's numbers for 2011 in US.

I say if you are right (which you seem to be more than this yahoo) you should email him your results. Because this guy never seems to get the picture, and neither does the rest of the world. Have you ever sent anything to people like this? Showing them that they are wrong, or were wrong.

No, I love Pachter.



 

I love Pachter too.



Patcher is drunk as usual.

maybe b/c the 360 had MW3 bundle/game release, along with skyrim and BF3 in Nov. these heavy release could resemble almost the same effect of Dec sales alone

the ps3s total number is much lower than the 360s to begin with, the 800k rise can be attributed to the full heavy shopping month of Dec.  Even though there was not many PS3 199 deals this december(i remember those last yr they were pretty hard to get when a store would offer em) there were plenty of PS3s with a160GB HDD for $50 less than it was available this whole year
