He predicts PS3 500k, 360 350k (hardware) due to GTA4 release.

His theory is that MS is trying to push Xbox Live gold membership with GTA4 DLC from 6m to 9m.

Pete Wanat (Vivendi) sides with 360 version due to DLC & achievements, Chris Morell (Gamepro) thinks it will be even.

 

Wow, console wars getting too hard to call nowadays!

 



Around the Network

the 360 version will sell more....its obvious....



 

 

First he says Ps3 will only sell 3 million units this year, now he says it will sell silly numbers in april

HES GONE MAD!

He has gone mad, where does he get 500k from, I reckon thats too high.

Pachter's numbers are for consoles, not the game. The game will obviously sell more on the 360 simply because of install base if nothing else.

I've just started watching it, and Pachter has already used anedoctal evidence... He said he was in Best Buy the previous day looking at big TVs and 4 clerks told him he should get a PS3 with them. Then he said "so clearly, retailers pushing the hell out of PS3, so I think PS3 is just going to do better, period".

Wait, why am I listening to Pachter again?

The 360 version of GTA IV will sell a lot more in NA, but I'm not so sure about Eu/Others tbh.
On a different note that relates slightly; Pachter seems to have lost it in the last two segments of bonus round that he's been on.



so the guy is talking aoubt US hardware sales and thinks the PS3 will outsold the Xbox360 in hardware sales ???

I seriously doubt .. I would like, but I doubt.
PS3 is still more expensive and in US people KNOW Xbox360 exists so they will choice the Xbox360.



Time to Work !

First of all what happened to March haha. And Pachter is going in sane it seems haha.



I think he's just throwing as many predictions out there as he can. In the odd circumstance that just one of those come true, or close, he's going to blow his own trumpet for the rest of the year/decade/century.
