Eating my hat is no big deal because I can always by another one, but if he's right, I'll eat my leg.
What does this have to do with network and servers? None of the reasons behind pachter's predictions has to do with the servers.
Its taken them almost a year now, and they still havent talked about suspend-and-resume. Not that the lack of that feature bothers me, but still.
I like pachter, and he normally makes some interesting points but is not the most diplomatic in doing so,
Got to admit this is the worst I have seen.
But it should be a wake up call for Sony, hardware is good for a console, BUT they really need to improve their network and servers.

Sony said they had their best week this year with Destiny?

It's buggy as he'll on Xbone so your not missing out on anything
I think network stability should be their focus. ...I'm yet to play a game of driveclub online yet
You would think a delay of a year they would of seen this???
Pachter seems to be pretty educated when it comes to the NPD, he never really makes any stupid estimates. The only possible way this could be true is if Destiny really didn't perform as well as was expected.
I look forward to the release of the monthly Tagg9 Numbers.
Selling more than xbox again should be a wake up call?

Joke post? XD lol sometimes can't tell

I'm just trying to think why he's made these estimates, his mindset etc lol. It's pretty much a given the PS4 wins this month, yet he thinks otherwise lol.

Agreed I don't know why people keep harping on this. People predicting MS to outsell Sony has nothing to do with their servers and won't make Sony better them.
I've said time and again to take your issues and grievances about Sonys online infrastructure to twitter and tweet them to Playstation execs.
MS outselling Sony for 1 month won't make them improve their network.

I suspect Pachter will be wrong, like he usually is.
I actually agree with this a lot very good point. I think November will be MS month. Now February will be very pro Sony. This holiday season is going to be super interesting.As a PS4 owner with no intent to buy the xbone this would be welcome news.
Nothing would be worse than Sony thinking they outright won the console war within 12 months after release. Competition is important.
You mean the games that look and run better on the PS4?
Or are you talking about exclusives. In that regard....what?
Joke post? XD lol sometimes can't tell
All my opinion:
Right now the XB1 has a better opening year library than the PS4 and more attractive exclusives through the fall. The reason Sony has been leading so handily is because of ill will towards MS's policies and pricing, not because they have better games available. And maybe that is starting to change. Sony's first year offerings have been pretty poor overall (imo), and MS has rebounded in a big way with big changes, updates, and a steady stream of decent-to-great exclusive content all year long.
He's almost always wrong? I think that could explain it.

Yes, I know...But just adding my opinion....
Well, besides friends / exclusives....what are the value propositions for the consoles ( excl bundles and price discounts)
++ Sony have the better hardware design for running games
++ MS have the better online server network
Its important points, and its the Sony weakness at the moment in my opinion. Fortunately for Sony its easier to rectify than the way MS designed their hardware imo.
I said his prediction is worst I have seen....of course Ps4 will sell more, probably 30-40 % more...
Just trying to point out any competitive push against Sony should get them to sort out Psn, which is their major weakness imo.
Yeah, it finally started working for me. Shut off my Xbox One the other night and turned it back on only to load up Horizon 2 and be in the middle of a race, lol.Suspends and resume works great for me. Just used it to continue my game of Horizon 2 I started last night.
I know that, but he's never this off base with his predictions. For the last few months, he's said the PS4 wins the month, even if his numbers are wrong.
Sony said they had their best week this year with Destiny?
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/09/17/destiny-ps4s-biggest-software-launch-yet/What a week! Since Destiny launched one week ago, it has officially become the biggest PS4 game launch in North America ever. The game broke records for being the fastest purchased and most played PS4 game during its first week on sale. In fact, last week was our single biggest PS4 hardware sales week since Christmas 2013! Thats a lot of PS4s. Thanks, Guardians!

I'd take Resogun over the Xbox One's entire existing exclusive library combined.
This whole "Xbox has a better library" is SO subjective. I wish people would stop peddling it as if it was fact.
Thursday will be sooo fun, cant wait!
Pachter is good at kicking up dust by taking contrarion views.
It works brilliantly for him.
