Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter just predicted that 360 beat PS3 in America in January, and that Wii still managed to completely outstrip the pair of them.

“We estimate sell-through of 550,000 Wii, 275,000 Xbox 360 and 225,000 PS3 consoles (a 35% year-over-year unit increase in consoles),” he said in a note.

“Our console sell-through forecasts reflect our belief that supplies for Wii hardware were up year-over-year.”

Pachter’s forecasting sales of $690 million, up 12 percent compared to last year’s $615 million.

I dunno how these are in comparison to vg chartz......but PS360 are way to close

Crap, the new NPD numbers are almost here already! 0_-
Man, does time fly.

Why did you call Pachter a God Analyst?

Well, if we take january 3 up until january 31 numbers (need to take away some from the holiday period in december), we have a difference of 200k on VGC.

Not that I know if that means either is off, since I don't know how many should be attributed to the end of december.

@Darth

lol, so he's a god when he's saying positive news about the PS3..

Isn't that a little hypocritical? or embarassing?

He was dramatically wrong last time. Ah whatever... he'll get quoted constantly no matter how many people complain...

@gabx

its embarassing when people don't get sarcasm too :)

maybe he meant "good" analyst, but forgot an o....

anyways, predictions are just predictions but if it is close to the truth then good job ps3 i guess

I think when he said god, he was being sarcastic....

OR u can put it on a perspective that there is no god, so then ....

Oo00oh stick to the first one (the sarcastic one)

He is totally off the mark yet again, I'm so sick of hearing about this idiot
