Forums - Sales - Pachter Analysis/ Estimate of August NPD - 175k PS4; 150k X1; 65k Wii U

binary solo on 09 September 2014

If vgc numbers are to be believed, noting we are missing a week at the moment, then pachter may be pretty close with PS4 and Xb one, but he's looking short on Wii U, given VGC already has it over 60k with 3 weeks of data. I think he's marginally short on PS4 and marginally long on Xb one, but neither in a big way.

PS4 in top ten for aug and xb one madden bundle at 49 suggest the Madden bundle did very little for xb one. And suggests not all that much holding over of PS4 buying for destiny.

Has someone forgotten to tell him that TLOU released end of July?

He is still overestimating the X1, i see. I'm surprised he didnt say the Wii U would sell 0 units.

I honestly don't get the Pachter hate, he's paid to make predictions not to be right.

Because he predicts what people don't want.

Atleast he has a realistic Wii-U number, it's clearly overtracked on VGC.

Like he predicts completely off numbers that people don't want, people want accurate numbers?

Not the numbers exactly but how consoles will do especially when he sat at GT the beginning..predicting totally wrong stuff like Wii will sell only 10 million or where he ended up being right 'PS3 will have a hard time in USA' both predictions made threads going on fire..
