I think Pachter should give up, I think he only do this because he is popular around the net with his opinions and not because he really analysts things...

Well, he kinda has the right to act the way he does. He gets more predictions right than wrong.

 

I hope thats sarcasm...

Far from it.

Hope he's right, these are my 2 most anticipated games this year.

Looking Forward to: Alan Wake | Splinter Cell : Conviction | The Last Guardian | Batman: Arkham Asylum | SMG2 | Mass Effect 2 |

Only one of the guys thought so, so it not like there's tons of data to support his estimates. It's like...you KNEW Halo 3 was going to be HUGE...you KNEW the Dark Knight was going to be HUGE...LBP...meh...the game is only BIG, if you like scroller...ala...Wii titles. Also, the real benefit of LBP seems to be user generated content...now THAT'S dicey! I'm not sure about mirror's edge either, as it seems like a rental to me.

Actually, FFX wasn't a catalyst for the PS2 in Japan. That thing was just big from day 1. It sold 1 million console in Japan in 12 hours and was sold out on day 1. PS2 was just a beast, still is actually.

EA is doing very well I think. Dead Space looks great, and Mirror's edge should be great too.

LBP will help the PS3, but taking it too the top, thats a big call lol. Even as a PS3 fanboy, I'm not that dumb.



There's too many good games being released in the next 2 months for Mirror Edge to sell over 2 million units...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I've watched it, its really sad that even with all these realities theyre still biased about HD consoles and not mentioned about the Wii.

@darth----> I've seen the first episode of Bonus Round, it seem even before analysts are still discriminating the Wii, the console selling because of the casuals and grandmas. Even Pachter



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

It is assumed that Wii will win...no need to point THAT out.

Noone can deny that the Wii is selling very well.
At the same time noone can deny that HD consoles are still able to generate a lot of hype and excitment around their games, more than the Wii in the traditionnal gamers circles I would say..
