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...

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."

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)

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.


"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."

Yeah sure..

Pachter : "Nintendo 3DS Will Survive In Crowded Mobile Space, Vita Won't"

Fuck. The 3DS is doomed.

The Vita was never made to survive the tablet/mobile onslaught, that much is certain. Pachter does understand some things but this is more less hindsight 20/20 speech at this point and hardly impressive.

Yeah sure..

Regardless if his quote was innacurate about the price level, it was still made after the 3DS price drop which occured in June 2011. This quote was taken from December 2011 as the Vita was launching in Japan. Therefore my statement was correct. You also have not provided a link to when he apparently claimed Vita would be a failure (prior to launch). The only thing I could find was his original statement in January 2011 of 3DS outselling PSP2, which then changed December of the same year and of course has changed again.

He only cares about the american market. Yet he talks about it like its the worldwide market.

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 .

I think what makes him an Analyst is that he has earlier access and more detailed access to the "data". Then he just turns around and makes shit up like the rest of the Internet and cashes in his Pay Ch$ck.
