2 years ago he said that 3DS would be easily overtaken by Vita and now he is saying the opposite. Pachter's rumours are either extremely narrow or blatantly obvious. I can see continued success for 3DS because it is a fantastic system with an amazing library and Nintendo and Japanese third-parties are continually supporting it; but I can also see Sony doing many things with Vita in the future to make room for it in the market, the system has a decent library and features.


Actually he said vita was doomed before release...

How does he do it. It must be some sort of wizardry.

Actually, Patcher stated ""I think the launch lineup is better, and they are at the same price, so assume that Vita is ahead of 3DS for first 3 months."

False, he always said Vita was "Dead on arrival"

I think Vita does a really good job in Japan, maybe they can turn around worldwide.

Some times I wonder wheter the Analyst is a real job. 

I mean he looks at the sale numbers and says what everyone can say .


you do realize that pachter does just "analyise" these things randomly right? all these quotes are from his show were he is asked about what he thinks about these stuff.

these are not his "analysis" but just his opinions about the stuff he is asked.

When psvita came up, 3ds was 80usd cheaper, that assumption was made when both system have the same price. Plus, doesnt change the fact that he doomed psvita way before launch (better sales than 3ds means nothin if the system is struggling)

Sounds logical. From a hardware perspective 3DS does a lot of stuff a smartphone doesn't yet(double screen, 3D, resistive touchscreen). The Vita however relies heavily on its hardware power and its touchscreen as main features. Features todays smartphones have already eclipsed. Aside from the buttons and the underused back touch pad it has nothing to offer compared to better equipped and more versatile smartphones.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

When did he doom PSV before launch? Can you please provide the link to this as I have not been able to find anything. Also this quote was made after the 3DS price drop, when the sales were picking up steam and very far from struggling.
