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...

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

He used to go on and on about a WiiHD.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

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)
And tons of others.
I don't like old predictions... so some more recents.

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.
Conegamer said: 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?
