Pachter also supplied us with this exclusive apology:

As long as you're giving me a forum, may I please beg your indulgence for a statement? I sincerely regret the choice of words in my response to Geoff Keighley's question in last week's Bonus Round, where I said that Sony is "ripping off" the consumer by pricing the PSP Go at $249.99. I made a poor choice of words, and I do NOT think that Sony is doing anything nefarious in choosing their pricing strategy. The company has the right to price its products at a point that they think is competitive, and has no obligation to sell products at lower than a competitive price. They have been subsidizing purchases of the PS3 since launch, to the tune of 22 million sold at a loss of $100 or more apiece (on average), so if they are able to make a profit on the PSP Go, more power to them. They are pricing at a point that positions the PSP Go competitively with the iPod Touch, and the PSP Go arguably has much more value than the Apple product. Notwithstanding my view that the price point is too high to generate more than a few million units sold, I really think my comment was unfair, and would appreciate your allowing me to clear the air on IndustryGamers.com.

Sony moneyhatted him.

Sony threatened his life! lol jk, he's not important enough (or at all) for that. That was a rather stupid comment.

Sony sent the ninjas to get this fool in check.

No, what he meant all along is that it is too expensive. Not that it's insanly overpriced, just that it's too expensive to succed on a mass marked scale. It's kinda his job to see it that way.

@bonker

crap, you beat me too it.

and what about the 25o pounds in the pal region?

He is fair and correct.

I still don't understand who is this Pachter guy and why are people giving him that much attention.

Pachter is decent enough to admit he was wrong...


Now don't make the same mistake again!

Dont mess with the YAKUZA!!!


At least he admit it, i dont think it over priced
