Pachter Predicts PS3 Massive Blow to Xbox 360
Another month, another new Michal Pachter prediction. His latest prediction, as always, is on the state of PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 sales. Time, and time again, we see predictions that are favorable for the other consoles. This time, the PS3 is being predicted to have favorable sales over the other two major console manufacturers.
Pachter expects a double-digit growth this month for the US games trade, compared to the last six months, which had negative numbers. He expects that the US games trade will rake in sales of $750 million, up 21% compared to last year’s $618 million.”
Patcher then followed with a prediction for console sales. He expects the Wii to sell 390 000 units (up 45% from last year), the Xbox 360 to sell 350 000 (up 1% from last year), and a massive 410 000 for PlayStation 3 (up 76% from last year).
You can hope these are true, while we wait for the release of the NPD next Thursday.

Uncharted 2……….that is all
Yeah every console is just going to keep selling more, that makes sense. Next year I predict a 2 billion rise in sales for everything people only need one of.
so stupid Johnny
Explain why, dickhead. It’s easy to say someone’s stupid when you have nothing to back it up. Personally I think you’re rather stupid because your username is terrible.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!! lol
If Sony would bundle Uncharted 2: Among Thieves w/ a PS3, sales would drastically increase in my opinion.
dickhead is such a funny thing to call someone ,+1 for that.
but then -1 for the uninspired username slam, you were on a good start but then
fizzled to mediocrity.
score so far = 0
Johnny Truant, Michael Pachter is a stock analyst.
His entire job, is basically to predict how well companies are going to do.
What the hell is your job?
I mean his job is to look at sales numbers of last year, the year before that, and that, and figure out what went right, what went wrong.
He’s going to be right at times, he’s going to be wrong at times. He’s not a psychic, he’s just a human that has a HELL of a lot more insider information than you will EVER have. He knows he gets things wrong at times and he tried to predict better and makes jokes about some of his old predictions like the Wii HD.
So seriously Johnny. What’s your job that puts you in a position to make snide remarks about his job? I’d love to find out what your job is actually. That way I can tell you how to do it;
Johnny you just can’t get along with anybody can you…you need to settle down and quit being so defensive. I know he attacked you, but calling him a dickhead??? Someone needs to grow up…so what name are you gonna call me???
@ MakaiOokami
Its funny that you would defend Pacter now when you have also called him a dumbass and more qualified to “predict”.. Everytime he makes some dumbass predication, everyone from Solidcake, you, myself and the PSL team bashed him nonstop. Dont defend him now just because NEW made fun of him or you have issues with Truant5. Regardless of what Pacter does, his gaming predications have been wrong or never came true. He also has a tendency to predict the obvious which you have also pointed it out. In essence, your statement contradicts itself, bashing someone on a subject that you yourself have done.
@giese095
i get along with him.. i don’t see anyone upset when TheHater (who is my friend) or (others) make rude remarks towards the articles or people. i understand you and him had that retarded debate last time but no reason to hold on to it. im sure if someone called you stupid for no reason in a comment you’d respond. A random ass comment from a person who i have never seen post in 7 months since being on here. Before truant5 was around posters would bash TheHater on everything he said, some even saying “your living up to your name”.
@SolidCake_
Well, the name thing was to show you can say someone is stupid for anything I wasn’t trying to be spectacular, but I respect your point giving/taking. But really, out of the context of james bond, a bond is what holds two things together, thats pretty fucking lame.
@everyone else
I thought it was obvious I was exagerrating a lot, to the point I wasn’t serious, so my bad you didn’t get it, right?
@giese095
I’m still gonna call you an embarrassment for arguing against me for no reason and admitting your argument had absolutely no merit when I took you to school. Oh yeah, and your reasoning for that was because you were defending yourself, like I just did. Fuck outta here.
@MakaiOokami
My job is being a fat nerd who wants to be japanese and shit, and it’s my first day. I’ll go ahead and let you tell me all about that, I hear you’re somewhat of an expert on that particular subject.
the only reason Pacter is correct this time is because various stock analysis said the same.. when hes solo guessing where the PS3 is head hes been incorrect.. of course the others aren’t listed just Pacter.
would everyone just relax, I’m not holding on to anything…this is all just a joke…I’m trying to make light fun out our last stupid little debate (which by the way I only participated in because I knew I would get a rise out of Johnny)…everyone just needs to relax, I think I’m the only one that isn’t getting upset. I never meant to offend anyone so can we all just forget about it now?? thank you
You’re just a joke. You typed like 3 paragraphs more than me just to annoy me? This whole time I was thinking you were some kind of an idiot. I’m not getting upset, i’m not getting worked up, if anything i’m laughing harder and harder. Protip: If you want to get a rise out of me, don’t set me up to tear you apart, because set up or not it’s a hell of a lot of fun.
@giese095
