Everytime this idiot opens his mouth crap starts flying out. What do you think of this claim he made?

Pick up your PS4 today, only for the price of 5.99 US dollars!

I highly doubt it could ever be cheaper than the Wii U. I smell fail trolling coming from Pachter.

lose money in the short term to gain a large install base quickly? Sounds reasonable IF they have a great launch selection. Sony would have to follow suit or have the same beginnings as they did last generation. Knowing Sony though, they'll stick with a higher price because there sony. It was ridiculous, I actually saw an article in which a sony executive said the PSP Go would have a premium price because it was a premium device. WTF? It's like they thought "well, business men will want a pspgo, and business men have money, so let's make it expensive!"  I wish Japanese companies would adapt instead of this whole we do what we do because we are who we are! The idea of taking a loss to build customers can work.

 

HOWEVER, microsoft will get their money from you, don't worry about that ^^

At least Sony and Nintendo aren't obsessed with DRMs.

So it's confirmed that the Ps4 and 720 will have the most expensive starting prices ever.

 

Seriously, why are we giving this guy so much attention?

I'm sorry but I don't even read anything he says. IMO he is just plain stupid and idk y people listen to him.

The guys on Inside Gaming *the people who do the news on the youtube channel machinima* estimated $300-$450 for the reason that, Yes they are going to lose money selling the consoles, but its a marketing idea so EVERYONE can afford to get one thus selling more games in the long run.
