Forums - Gaming - Another analyst doing his thing ("PS3 will outsell everything in 2008")

super_etecoon on 21 October 2007

I think it is interesting to note that at one point when referring to the PS3's price cut he says, "Now that we have price cuts in place." I'm not saying he is in bed with sony, but he just seems like a sony apologist.

This doesn't sound like analysis to me...it sounds like a bad vgchartz forum poster.

Anyalysts are merely an instrument of financial institutions to manipulate public opinion. If you accept that fact, all their statements make sense.

The real, actionable information is passed in private and is unavailable to the general public.

I agree, and I think far too many people take what an analyst says on its face value without considering the motives. Using a different market as an example ...

Back in about 2004/2005 many bloggers were starting to notice that something wasn't right in the housing market; house prices on a national basis (typically) increase at (roughly) the rate of inflation, but since 1996 (or so) there was a massive disconnect with the rate of inflation which lead people to believe that 'we' were in the middle of a housing bubble. For months these 'Crackpot Bloggers' (as the professional analysts called them) were talking about how ultra low interest rates, market speculation, and questionable lending practices were pushing the values of homes to unrealistic levels.

Today we know that the 'Crackpot Bloggers' were correct and the analysts (inspite having more education, experience, and access to more data) were completely wrong. Now you can look at this a couple of ways, either these highly paid analysts are not worth their salaries OR while they were calming the public they were moving their money to 'safer harbours'.

Reading the comments made about the video on that site, what can I say? They got the name of their site right.

Why does Wii have so many more million sellers than PS3 if Wii games sell so badly?

These analysts are total moronic fanboys



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I'm not going to say it won't outsell everything, but haven't they predicted over and over again that PS3 will start selling all year now

I think it's hilarious that people still argue with SDF. It's a satirical site! But it still draws crowds of angry fanboys trying to argue with them. It's hilarious, those guys deserve a cookie.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

The_vagabond7 on 21 October 2007

also after having watched the video, yeah I think that guy just hangs out here. He seems to be regurgitating alot of the illogical banter you hear around here. Wii is a fad! IT's games suck! PS3 domination begins.....later!!
