Pachter tror på en prissænkning af PS3 og Xbox 360

Med de nye konsoller på markedet, er det nemt at glemme at der stadig er masser af liv i PlayStation 3 og Xbox 360, og noget der potentielt ville kunne sætte yderligere gang i salgstallene, er en prisnedsættelse. Sådan en tror ynglings-analytikeren Michael Pachter på, og fortæller i det seneste afsnit af Bonus Round følgende:

"I think the publishers are going to threaten the manufacturers, and they're going to say ‘cut the price of the PS3 and the Xbox 360, now.' So my bet is: February, price cut happening, because I actually think the publishers are gonna threaten to not support the PS3 and 360 this Holiday - Holiday '14 - if they don't see a price cut quick."

"The good news is: Microsoft can cut to $199 in a heart beat and they won't lose any money ... I mean it'll cost their profit. And Sony can do the same, they both have manufacturing down there, and I think that's great for consumers. There are still a hundred million Wii owners out there, probably three quarters of whom have never considered owning a PS3 or a Xbox 360. I think that's a good opportunity for ten million or more of them to trade up, so that'll be good."
