Forums - Sales Discussion - Pachter: Xbox One outsold PS4 in September..... (Not A Fact)

Does Pachter even use any data/evidence to come up with his predictions? That seems awfully ignorant. Heck, it would seem ignorant if a "normal" person said it, but this is an analyst we're talking about...

For those of you that are curious, this is what VGChartz shows:

_____________________ PS4 ___ Xbox One
Week Ended 9/6/14: __44,850 ___  32,058
Week Ended 9/13/14: _162,354  __ 88,166
Week Ended 9/20/14: __73,365 __ 44,324
Week Ended 9/27/14: __65,610 __ 41,755
___________TOTAL: _ 346,610 __   206,303

(I didn't even bother trying to figure out the last few days of September, cause those totals already speak for themselves)

So, for Pachter to be right, it would require VGChartz to both majorly over-track PS4, while hugely under-tracking Xbox One sales. Keep in mind, the trend since the beginning of PS4/Xbone launch as been the opposite: VGChartz consistently underestimating PS4 while overestimating Xbox One.

September will actually have 5 weeks, so the totals will be considerably higher. About 406k for PS4 and 247k for X1

Pachter...are you even trying this time?

Anyone have any examples of failed Pachter predictions in the past?

He used to go on and on about a WiiHD.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The great thing about this thread is that it is one of those rare threads where all three fanbases agree.


I actually hope the Xbox one at least does the 325k because I think Patcher is needlessly setting the fanbase up to be embarassed once again.  

How is this prediction working out:

Ps3/360/wii is the last generation of consoles, no new hardware after these (lol).

Xbox one will outsell ps4 in 2014 (lol)

No comment.

 

And tons of others.



I don't like old predictions... so some more recents.

everyone makes bad predictions, even you and me. (especially you)

The first can happen yet but it is unlikely and the second was close (2.6m) and the third was on spot.

BTW I don't remember me or you being paid to make bad predictions and to be fair Pachter's predictions are way worst than mine or yours.

Well either way, that's a 75k predicted difference. Even Patcher can't be that wrong, can he?


lol

He sure as hell can.

Fun fact:

He is not paid to make any prediction public.

And he doesn´t get or lose money when he is right or wrong.

Basicaly the same thing we all know about this very site.

As for your prection, I´m still waiting the PS3 to open a 10mi lead over the 360... or wasn´t it 20mi the first time you said the PS3 would reach 110mi consoles by the end of next year?
