Hahah.... Not only could anyone from gaf pull those slides from their behind, why is he expecting growth? Ah right because he is akways wrong.
Pachter at SXSW: Music, Film, Interactive - where does hyperbolic bullshit fall under?
Will we refer back to that image in 2018 and laugh?

"Huge RAM makes innovation likely"
This is a weird statement especially considering that most of the games on PS4 will be multiplatform which will be on the system with less RAM and thus probably won't take advantage of it. And having a lot of RAM doesn't change the economic risk of making a risky title. I'm not sure I get where he's coming from with this...

Why is growth unreasonable to expect? We're not judging all of next gen based on Wii U sales are we?

His LTD predictions seem silly (too high). If the next-gen console LTDs are that, then why would it be the final generation? Makes no sense since it would like this generation.
Well, in fairness, Patcher's calling for it to shrink too.Personally I find it unlikely that the console gaming market will grow rather than shrink but only time will tell I suppose.
And I'd also like to say that projections this far in advance before the generation comes into full swing are almost never accurate.
Because if you take away the Wii anomality there was a big decline this gen compared to last. Now in a world with a lot more entertainment options, any sensible person would expect a decline in the coming gen. But not Pachter.

He predicts next gen will do better than current gen but next gen will be the last gen because wii U is selling bad.
WHICH IS IT PACHTER? MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
Sony is gona sell 85million consoles and then just say ok we'll stop now.
DERP

Well, in fairness, Patcher's calling for it to shrink too.
The increased ltd sales of the PS4 and "Durango" are coming at the expense of sales of the Wii U in contrast to the high sales of the Wii. There's about 19 million sales, going from their best case estimate, that they think won't happen in comparison to last generation(or this one if you wanna say that).
Well its not really growth. He shows WiiU dropping more than half of Wii's installed based.
Using his numbers PS3+360+Wii is less than WiiU+PS4+720.
