My quote has nothing to do with the argument, and yes I did say that, the gap was  3.5 million and the ps3 was outselling the 360, I did not expect a $199 drop.

Either that episode or the one after pachter himself says the wii would take half the generation, and people would believe it won, then the generation would take a turn once the other two consoles reach the same price range of the wii.

yes so what leo-j

expectations change as the generation moves forward

he;s NOT an idiot for seeing change & changing his predictions to suit that change

@demotruck

oh he certainly did

its the December 2006 bonus round......check it our for yourself

I dont care about his expectations DARTH, I am saying that sharky is spewing BS, pachter did expect the wii to take half the generation.

Also I believe he should not contradict his predictions, when the time for it to occur is not yet up.

darth i never said he was an idiot, i was just picking out a humors post from back in the time when patcher thought the ps3 would be first shortly. mainly to show he was posting here, as was I. i was looking for a post from another respected sony player that had put the winner as the first to 299 in that thread, but at the moment i do not see it... sorry i just love that thread all the optimism ... you can find me being stupid in more then enough places on here a few games i really thought would do better then they did.... sigh.... so many good games ignored 

hey im just marking this so after work i can comment on the 199 thing, sigh sometimes being salaried sucks

you did say he was an idiot

the time for it to occure is long gone WW, in Japan its not though

@goddog

I wasn't even referring to you at all

I agree he changes his predictions to often, but what you wrote here is even more idiotic.

Which is it, November or December? If he said it in December it was already released and clear that it was selling extremely well, so at a point like that it would be nothing more than damage control.

A few months beforehand he described it as a secondary console for enthusiasts.
