Pachter: A year more before PS3 steals Wii's thunder

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is back with some more predictions concerning the never-dying topic of who will win the seventh-generation console war. This time, he says that the Nintendo Wii will continue its momentum for a year more, then the Sony PlayStation 3 will take command.

The catalyst for this change of momentum, says Pachter, will be pricing. He said that further drops in the PS3's retail value will give consumers the last push to get the machine.

"I think the Wii momentum will last until the Playstation 3 is under US$ 300, so another year," adds the well-known analyst in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly.

Those who have been following the console war debate will know that Pachter has had his money on the PS3 from the very beginning. Even in the toughest times of the beleaguered console, Pachter expressed optimism that it will come out on top in the long run.

Pachter could be right, as fiscal 2008 is earmarked as the period when Sony will throw the first wave of big bombs. A revitalized PlayStation Network, the emerging dominance of Blu-ray, the impending launch of PlayStation Home, and the slated releases of big exclusive games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue are all factors being taken into consideration.

The only question that Pachter has to answer now is this: What if PS3 rivals Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 cut their prices to compete?

I'm gunna give my self a random name, and tell everyone that orange juice will sell more than milk for 2 years before being over runned by soda.

Anyone can guess things, so why the hell should we listen to him? Even if he's from some gaming place, I can guess just as good as him.

Anyways back on topic. I think he's wrong only because seriously, look at all the perfect titles coming to the PS3 this year. Mgs4, Killzone 2, Little big planet (a lot of people that like wii games should like LBP), Resistance 2, and I bet motorstorm 2 too. People will notice these games and I think if there is another price cut then the PS3 will be on top.
