LOL. Kaz and Greenberg seem reasonable by comparison.

Do you realize that the gap is less than 2 million?

@badgenome

in a funnily funny way your right!

i dont think ps3 can sell 2 mil more per year, but if games like ff13 and gt5 are released, or similar jap titles then it could be a remote possibility, but even more dependant is the pricing if ps3 manufacturing is lowered to the amount that a major price cut can be given.

My point is that these three sentences together show that it's not a typo. Pachter simply doesn't know how much the PS3 and 360 have sold in Japan.

Yes, I was jsut making a suggestion that it was a typo in that it was meant to be 3 mil versus 4 mil as even by Pachter's logic makes more sense.

But he estimates a 10 million gap by the end of 2011. That's 3 years of sales, times 2 million (the gap per year according to him). 6 million, plus the supposed 4 million current gap is 10 million.

Everything is correct if you assume there's no typos (and ignore the fact that the PS3 hasn't even sold 3 million in Japan, much less outsold the 360 by 3 or 4 million).

The PS3 will be lucky to have a 5 million lead over the X360 in Japan. And yes I am factoring in the PS3s saviour, Final Fantasy XIII.... because if it wasn't for that game (and 1 or 2 others) I doubt the PS3 would even manage a 3 million lead.

what a moron.

People are losing their jobs left in right in this economy. It astounds me that Pachter still has his. He continually opens up his mouth and spouts "facts" that anyone with an internet connection can disprove in mere minutes.
