Hmm...something that is releasing almost 3 months after V. Something that won't be out before V. V will be out for awhile before next gen...one can only wonder.

I couldn't watch more than about 4 minutes of that. I haven't followed this guy, but apparently he has learned that a blogger gets a lot more blog hits and a lot more interaction on the web when he blatantly asserts wrong things. Everybody comes in to bash him, and as we know, no publicity is bad publicity.

 

Next gen console sales are going to so weak in their fist year (2014), that there will easily be time for Rockstar to create a GTAV conversion by late 2014 or 2015, if they even bother. There will be plenty of time for the long tail of GTAV to sell into the slowly growing next gen console market.

Just released. Pach thinks it might:

I though this "pacH" guy is an idiot. And I was probably right, until now.

 

Now I think he is even kinda funny, I liked his "joke" with the radio stations, but the 2.nd time he brought this joke it kinda felt like sarcasm, was it sarcasm? If so he is again an idiot..

 

Of course he got a point this time but I don't care about that this time, I want to know if it was sarcasm and he is an ass..^^

He is a video game analyst and a quite credible one at that. You should learn more about him before you bash him.

Only the sales to people that don't have a console or have a broken one will be affected. They'll think twice before buying a soon-to-be obsolete console. On the other hand, the PS4 will be able to run V through some service I forgot the name of. R* will get a nice sum for authorising Sony to sale V digitally and further doesn't have to worry about sales.

Yea I don't understand what all the fuzz is about. People know that you can have more than 1 console right?! When I bought my Xbox 360 (my first current gen console) I kept my PS2 around, simply because I already had so many (good) games for it. Most TV's have more than 1 hdmi port so you can have both consoles plugged in.

 

EDIT:

Even though Pachter is not completely wrong, the guy is a joke. I thought no one took him serious, people just watch because its kinda funny.

I think he's talking about catalog sales (the copies being sold at a reduced price a few months after launch), in which case I agree with him. GTA V will no doubt be a hot item for the first 4 or 5 months, but then people will be transitioning to the new consoles around that time.

Could you have predicted better? He explains quite rationally why.

It's intriguing, really. Erroneous prediction, after erroneous prediction and some folks still seem to believe his blatantly discernible, poorly substantiated conjecture still holds validity. The man is spurious, he's a bad joke. Ostensibly the gaming-sector seems to be a tad more forgiving. But let me tell you this; if this so called 'Research Analyst' was under my ascendancy, I'd hand him walking papers before you could say Jack Robinson.

There is a two month drought in games between GTA5 and nextgen. Take 2 mentioned couple days ago that the first two month is the most important. Take 2/R* cannot ask for a better timing. GTA5 is gonna be big.

Pachter's famous (if you can call it that), but he ain't credible. He pulls guesses out of his ass like anyone else and he's wrong just as often, too.

Who the f*ck cares about Next Gen consoles, there probably won't be any GTAs for them the first 2 years so there's no point in getting them.

lol... Rockstar decided to work on radio stations, that was the reason for game delay... it's important that you can switch to a Latino radio station. lol.gif

V multiplayer will be short lived thanks to next gen, I'm sure of it, it's the only thing that worries me. People will slowly drop off and jump ship to next gen... In about a year from now, it'll be practically dead (online). Won't have the same everlasting multiplayer like IV had and still has after 5 years! I can't see V multiplayer lasting for 5 years from now, unlike IV.... Unless they port to next gen.

VISE VERSA

 

people wont buy the new consoles until they finish with GTA V on current gen.

 

most people planning on buying next gen currently own this gen.

I hope there's a mission where we kidnap a parody of Pachter, shove him into a crate and send him into the ocean in the trunk of a car.

Mission name 'Pack The Pach'

I dont think that Next Gen will hurt GTA V, because most people buy the next-gen consoles 1or 2 years after release because they are cheaper then.

Pachter is wrong about this. First of all, there will be a 2 - 3 month window after V is released and when the next gen consoles hit the shelves. Most of the total number of sales will be sold during this period. Secondly, 360 and PS3 has a user base of around 150 million people. So what if 10% of these people upgrade to a new console? It doesn't change a thing. Most of them will probably keep their previous consoles so they can keep enjoying all the dozens of games (maybe even hundreds of games) they already have. It's not like they will instantly sell their old consoles just because they bought a new one. And upon release of the next gen consoles, there will only be a few dozen games available so people are wise to keep their old consoles.

 

GTA5 will outsell ALL previous GTA games!
