I think he knows that. But what would that change?

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.

You're right. My bad for assuming people read beyond the title

Well to be fair, before the Xbox One announcement plenty of people thought that MS was going to hit it out of the park and if we go even further back to 2012 or something then a lot of people thought that the next PS wouldn't stand a chance against the next Xbox at all, with phrases like "NA is now Xbox territory, the real battleground next gen will be Europe"-being thrown around, which turned out to be hilariously wrong.

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.

 

Prior to the PS4 reveal: Plenty of both.

After the PS4 reveal: Less of the analysts

After the X1 reveal: Hardly any analysts, less of the Xbox fanboys

Now: Only the most core Xbox fanboys still believe in a scenario where the X1 will end up on top.

Ms made a bad error with DRM.

However Sony is throwing it away right now. Driveclub is a shambles with its average reviews and broken online aspect of an online heavy game. The order has terrible previews. And my friends are struggling to justify their ps4 right now. They bought because of titles Luke driveclub and the order.

Microsoft just need to keep up the exclusives with good reviews. Indies are all coming so slowly ps4 is looking pretty much a 3rd party machine only atm. I only really see uncharted trying to compete with halo 5, quantum break and rise of the tomb raider. Bloodbourne is coming next year. Butsales will be low for that game as history shows.

Sony are throwing it all away.

Don't you there is a difference between bringing up something once in a while and never failing to bring that thing up? Also you should read some of your own comments

LMAO. The word is "momentum". Last gen Xbox 360 had it and they beat PS3 with momentum. Have you forgotten 2013 in which Xbox 360 had one AAA exclusive (gears of war judgement) which wasnt that good compared to army of PS3 exclusives including The Last of US. In the end PS4 will sell more and this is the truth.
