Oh the hypocricy. So why are you mocking Pachter for jumping the gun when some of you are doing the same thing. Here is a little fact, the generation isn't over yet.

He didn't.

The headline was "Michael Pachter chooses the Xbox to win the next generation" he said "didnt he say this was the last console generation?" Micheal Pachter said this last year when many thought xbox would win.

the XB1 is way to much american to have any influence outside US with it's TV features and Social media, the voice command will not do good in *not native english speaking countries* there are far more countries out there that speaks different languages then english. and are not interested i ESPN.. ( I already got a PC and a 3D Blu ray player who got more apps then the XB1.. it's also a better bluray player with 6 HDMI inputs, and i can plug my PS4 to it ) and My 3D Full HD Smart Tv got it all. Skype and Cam too. When should people realize that t box isn't the future... it's deluded

so somebody else can necro bump us in a few years as well. 

I think he is not as dumb as we think he is. He probably does it intentionally. He knows, negative marketing can also be marketing is used smartly.

Yes i've thought about that. We don't have enough information about him. Or it's simply that his audience doesn't listen to the critique he gets!

Whenever you want to know about the future, take Patcher's predictions and invert them, then you'll know

well he said it himself..he has a job where he can be always wrong and keep his job.

lucky bastard.

Plenty of people who objectively analyse sales data and market trends? Or plenty of one-eyed Xbox fans?

My analysis was that Sony had learned a valuable and near fatal lesson with PS3 and they would not make the same mistakes again. They would launch alongside MS and they would be price competetive and make a machine that was easier for 3rd parties to develop on. Therefore Sony was more likely to regain customers and take market share off MS than the other way around. I thought MS was still likely to win UK and USA, but by much smaller margins and Sony was likely to increase its leads in almost all other markets. I think that would have been the case had MS not DRM'd its way out of consumer good will and hadn't cocked up on the hardware by throwing in Kinect and making a less powerful, bulkier and uglier machine more expensive. But because MS did all those things wrong PS4 even has the USA and the UK in its favour now.

It won't be until 2016 that there can be any certainty about whether or not PS4 will retain the number 1 position in the USA. But I think we can be confident that by early next year we'll know that PS4 will stay on top in the UK.

The only real danger to PS4 was Sony, and it remains a danger to PS4 until it gets its company-wide financial shit sorted out.

So then... Wii U will win?
