I am hoping Reggie is telling fibs about the lack of Wii HD in development at the moment as the idea is really awesome. According to Reggie, “I don’t know how forcefully we can say that there is no Wii HD” and “Michael [Pachter] continues to be the only one who believes this is going to happen” Last Updated: November …

Michael Pachter, the videogame industry’s favourite analyst has spoken again. Analysts, for whom it is apt to have the word “anal” in their titles on account of the amount of faecal matter that they spew from their mouths, sometimes do actually get things right – and I suspect this will be one of those times.

Some Mr Pachter has become famous for making bold predictions that he never has to answer for and he’s at it again.

However the big story doing the rounds this morning is that the PS3 is …

It is a good indication of how things have changed when respected industry analysts are now talking about how the PS3 may overtake the 360 sales if this, this and this happen. In the good old days everyone was convinced that the PS3 would slaughter the competition and walk away with yet another undisputed title, however two years after it’s …

Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter (try saying that when you are drunk) has said that he expects a Playstation 3 price drop by April this year.
