PS3 Price cut at the Playstation conference. Well we all saw how that turned out.

"...rendering games at 240 frames per second," Pachter said.
Why does this idiot get paid?

Pachter is fun. As a personality, he's much better than most of the people who do podcasts and the like. I like him. Most of all, I enjoy how upset people get over what he says. I think Jesse Divnich is better from a purely technical standpoint, though.

Also, let ye who among you has not predicted wrongly cast the first console.

What are you trying to say with this?

Okay, here's one:

He's predicting 200-250 million units to be sold, resulting in the demise of consoles.

I'm not talking about you or me, but rather the people who are sometimes wrong.  I see people who predict their own favorite consoles will sell like 200 million units attacking Pachter like rabid weasels.

He claimed that Nintendo and Microsoft would release a Wii HD and the Nextbox in 2010.

Latest Pach-Attack ("...the hardware business makes no sense for Nintendo.") - depending of one's personal views, he's either an idiot, or very good analyst. I personally enjoy watching his show, whether he's right or wrong, he is interesting speaker with lot of knowledge about how this industry works.

It's ridiculous to think that any console will hit 200 Million.

Certain times I think it's justified to attack Pachter. Sometimes he's just too wrong!

That made absolutely no sense Wii U priced to close to  PS4 and 720 and all he can do is give the old $599 figure  and indicate that its price  should be some where below .

He then gives mixed messages about future sales by using LTD for the PS360 and LT for PS4 -720  ,  he can pull figures from you know where for the next gen consoles but can't extrapolate the currently available PS360 sales numbers to give us a good guesstimate to there eventual LT numbers , the  confusion  is it looks from first glance that you have sales of 73 - 75 mill respectively for PS3 and 360 versus 85 -95 mill for the new PS4 720 consoles so somewhere around 12 to 20 mill more per console and for some reason that  24 to 40 mill increase across the board for Sony and MS spells doom for the console industry.

Now  the gains are offset by Nintendo's in this forecast but that is Nintendo's problem and isn't a problem for the other two console makers using these numbers, still those figures as I have said earlier don't include true lifetime numbers for the PS360  ,so we don't know if he felt the new consoles from Sony and MS would outsell the old ones by that margin and just tacked that onto the existing sales figures to get the  85 -95 M figure , or his reason for doom is he feel the LT figures might eventualy reach 95 mill anyway .
