As i said, it was ok.  Most games they have released for the last two years has been recieved below expectations.

People want to act as if sony has some infinite library of first party games but just like Nintendo and MSFT they have staple franchises and then release games with diversity. We can act like Sly cooper, Ratchet, and Beyond is big but they appear to be no bigger than  Kameo, Viva Pinata, and State of Decay (each sold over 1m). 

Sony certainly has released some good games this generation but it is a bit of a stretch to say they have 30 "notable" franchises.  None of the big 3 has 30 "notable" franchises.  

If anybody can actually name 30 big franchises for any of the big 3 i would be highly shocked. Hell it would be hard to name 10 big time sellers.

The good news is we're in next gen now and MSFT and Sony has been gearing up with new franchises.  Of course people can argue about list wars but they both have a lot of diversity and has been getting even wider as of late(Killer Instinct, Project Spark, Quantum Break, The Order: 1886, Tearaway, Gravity Rush to name a few). Nintendo hasnt really been widening their library but they certainly have a strength when it comes to mascots.

Id prefer to focus on now and see if the games coming out are going to be good and wait for all the new ip's sony and MSFT are teasing.

Still waiting for some of your earlier predictions to come true

give me 240fps or give me death (yours preferrably)

This threads a joke. You are taking something out of context when it's a vague claim to begin with. Request for a clarification on his show if its bothering you so much.

I'm certainly not a Playstation fan so I have no clue about it, but I seriously doubt he's speaking out of his ass. He makes claims because he's an analyst, and they are unpopular because he's a business analyst. EA and Activision have extremely unpopular views on gaming as well, but they make a lot of money in the process.

These numbers and facts are hypothetical and are being pulled out of my ass but lets say he's referring to the sum total amount of first party games from sony over the last year, 4 of them are large games, 10 of them are region locked in japan and the rest are minigames.  Maybe pachter is referring  Sony's PSN content as being pathetic when compared to their rivals in the same category and timeframe.  

Great post but you should really include PS1/PSP/Vita games too.

wishing death on someone, classy...

This is NOT the sort of thing I'd like to read on this forum thank you very much.

the problem is Pachter talks out his ass when it comes to Sony and Nintendo, i havent heard him say anything that became reality, in 2009 he stated ps3,x360 and wii were the final consoles, hes not a gamer and he makes the dumbest predicitons

here are some hes stated

Boderlands was "sent out to die" before its release and consequently 3+ million in sales and a sequal

- PREDICTION: March 2009, and Jul 2009, Pachter predicts "Grand Theft Auto 5" will arrive in 2010, and 2011, respectively. In December 2010, after noticing we were no closer to a "GTAV" release date, Pachter predicts "GTAV" would rear its head by 2012.
OUTCOME: No, no, and nope. Here we are in 2013, and Rockstar has yet to release the next "GTA" installment. Originally slated to release this Spring, Rockstar has since promised that we'll all have our hands on "GTAV

im not going to go and find more but what im saying is he just throws shit against the wall, hes no better then you lookin in the rumor section or a tabloid, eventually somethign will stick and be right if you throw enough on the wall.

Should change his name to Michael Sphincter.

I like patcher now
