Forums - Sales Discussion - Patchter thinks the PS3 will only have about half the install base of 360

Hah, its not just the Wii fans who think Pachter is an idiot now.

Seriously, doesn't this conflict with his earlier statements about how well he thinks the PS3 will do?

 My thoughts exactly.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Actually, everybody knew he's an idiot. He's the gamer version of Thompson.

@soriku

then would'nt your option 2 mean

360 will sell 22 million units this year

puhhhh-lease

 

What? Either way, it won't happen. And the 360 will sell more.

The 360 will sell more than the PS3 this year? How do you figure that?

It's Prachter, sometimes he says things we want to believe, sometimes he doesn't. Either way don't put too much stock into anything he says.

@soriku

especially after the failed price drop in EU

 I wouldn't call it failed just yet. Just wait a couple of weeks and then judge it.



 


 

@Imthelegend

I agree.

Next time, all of you, LISTEN to what they're talking about:
Pachter means
TOTAL SOLD COPIES OF GTA 4, NOT CONSOLES !!!

 But I think he over-estimates the xbo360 sales for gta4 way to much, perhaps he has some Rockstar shares



@Wilem

No YOU listen to what he said

he was talking about "install base"

he said 360 will be at 22 million PS3 half of that i.e 11 million....PS3 will be there in 1 week actually not by the end of 08



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
