Pachter: PlayStation is doomed, they can't compete and have no chance

According to the analyst, Microsoft has an "insurmountable lead" in services, infrastructure, and overall ecosystem that has future-proofed Xbox for the next 10 years. Sony, on the other hand, doesn't have that kind of lasting power--at least that's what Pachter believes.

 

"I think PlayStation's doomed, and I think they're going to cease to exist as we know them in about 10 years. They can't compete. They have no chance," Pachter said during an RDX stream.

Sony has the upside with console sales right now, but Pachter believes the industry is moving away from dedicated hardware and more towards online, cloud, and services. The argument is Sony's content pales in comparison to Microsoft's, especially with the inclusion of Bethesda and soon Activision-Blizzard (Sony has a multitude of studios and wholly-owed properties, as well as licenses to Spider-Man, one of the most popular super heroes on the planet).

 

"They've got a huge head start now with 17 million PS5s as of December, Microsoft hasn't released a number but you know it's 8 or less. PlayStation is going to pass like they're standing still...not in console sales, in Game Pass numbers.

 

"Microsoft has 25 million Game Pass users without Activision. How many are they going to get with Activision? There's so much content."

"[Sony is] not a couple years behind. It's an insurmountable leap."

 

 

 

Cows, you're done. MS (PC+XB) has won again.

He also predicted the Switch would flop and that the PS3 generation would be the last gen for Sony because they were doomed :hest:

 

 

Dude is the reverse Nostradamus, he’s basically predicting that Sony will crush Microsoft if you take what he says in reverse :mroff:

:vince: patcher is basically 100% with his predictions 

No he is not.  Remember he said the the Switch would not sell as much as the Wii and would top out at about 50 million units.  And he has been so wrong on so many things Nintendo.
