Re: Pachter: PS4 Will Surpass Wii U Sales Globally by Spring

@Gamer83 yeah, I'm pretty sure the day the Wii U hype train crashed was the day Pachter said it would sell 12M units in 2013.

@rastamadeus they're more like Arsenal, loads of money in the bank which they're not spending despite many fans asking them to, they stick with their manager when short term goals are missed and it's been a good few years since their last title win.

Re: Wii Who? The PS4 Controller Almost Featured a Touchscreen

I think their developer feedback comment is a bit of a shame. Does it mean that they are not actually going to put any effort into Vita/PS4 dual screening?

@D3athBr1ng3r187 the gamepad definitely detracts from some traditional gaming experiences on Wii U but devs complaining about using it is just a cop out due to their lack of imagination or publishers not allowing them to use resources on the gamepad. Off-TV play is great but so far the best uses of the pad have been purely for local multiplayer.

Re: GameStop: PlayStation 4 Will Easily Sell Out At Launch

The PS4 will sell out at launch but Gamestop might want to recall what they said about Wii U having sold out double their pre-order allocation. It's almost like a Pachter kiss of death making any predictions in the games industry. Are they also not worried that the Xbox release might coincide and cannibalise their own PS4 sales? Maybe they know something the rest of us don't with regards to which next gen consoles to expect at xmas.....

I'm really excited for the new consoles but it's going to be an all out war full with casualties and even more annoying fanboys. The best part is that nobody can call who will win. We might all be claiming Nintendo have lost already but they are currently in the lead and will almost certainly be in the lead after xmas! Sony and MS will be the real fight to watch because the Wii U is clearly going to be too dated by the end of the generation but that won't automatically mean they will be outsold by both or either for that matter. Sony look strong at the mo with their super high spec sounding console but all MS have to do is go for 9GB of RAM and the idiots will all start saying that instantly means it's more powerful than PS4.
