I predict:

Michael Pachter, won't be around in ten years

This guy is irrelevant. Dual shockers should be ashamed for still using this guy as a "credible analyst". He's a wack jab similar to Jim Cramer in the financial world.

Pachter is a dickhead.

His predictions have always been based on wishful thinking rather than actual analysis.

Good to know that it in fact will exist in 10 years

This is the same Patcher who said back in 2009 that the ps3/360/wiiU would be the last console generation.
Never take what he's says seriously.

LOL

Lol

Looks like grandpa is off his medication again.

Nurse!!!!

Michael Pachter is proof that the old saying "even a broken clock is right twice a day" does not apply to everyone. He's always wrong. If we were to believe him, console gaming died years ago.

My dad always say, newspapers are like, just look at the sun and sky and tell me what comes in your head?

I need a pound of whatever he's smoking...

I'll have what he's having, because dude...it's working.

Microsoft has done a strong 180 since the Xbox One days, but that equates to Playstation being removed from the industry?
Very, very highly unlikely.

And if one of the major points of that is the success of Gamepass, isn't that the reason Spartacus is a thing?

We don't know exactly what that all will entail, but Sony is definitely trying to create a better contender against Gamepass than PS Now.

Extremely dumb take.

Lol I wouldn't believe Pacter if it was flooded outside and he told me it had been raining.

rebrand incoming? 😉

Playstation Eternal confirmed.

Another stupid Pachter take. He is ALWAYS wrong. Why does anyone listen to this quack?

Metacritics is everything to Sony , their vision on making games keeps getting more expensive and this is too much for them to sustain themselves , I blame companies whose entire existence just for selling expensive devkits and licensing 3d engines and they just keep getting more expensive for no real reasons ; 30 years ago, they were nothing , dev teams were depending on themselves %100 without any external factors , unfortunately , degrading is not an option cause it's backward and everyone will notice it as soon as the game released , real support should come from consumers , there shouldn't be other middlemen who shares the benefits with the main company.

Man, this guy is the worst. Why do people still talk to him?

I mean think about how stupid this sounds, PS5 is selling like hot cakes year one so far. Let's say the actual life span of PS5 is 6 years, once they make another console PS6, that will be another 6 years, that is 12 years already..so no.

Unless he is implying that Sony won't make it to PS6, which their excellent sales of PS5 right now says otherwise.

Foolish little man

Pachter clearly funnels what comes from his behind piped up and duck taped to his mouth to make a continuous circle of life. Round and round and round...

I'd like to hear his lotto predictions so I know which 6 numbers to rule out

majority of us gamers make way better predictions than this guy. Why are these articles even approved. Been hearing his nonsense for over a decade now.

lets hope the human race exist in the next 10 years michael.

Huh???

LMFAO! What is he on?

Wasn't he in a podcast with well know Xbots whwn he made that outlandish claim? Seemed to have made them happy.

This dude is a walking joke, who pays this clown?

"I think Playstation is doomed and I think they're going to cease to exist as we know them in about ten years. They can't compete. They have no chance of competing."

Keywords: "as we know them"

Curious how he came to that conclusion?! There is room for 3 and Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation seem to be able to co-exist in the marketplace no problem. Nobody else can successfully crack the market because those 3 exist! I have been critical of Sony in the past, but to say the PlayStation brand wont exist in 10 years is just pure hyperbole! PlayStation is and always will be synonymous with video games and its been that way for decades. Brand recognition that runs that deep does not simply disappear! What a kook!

Michael Patcher has been wrong every single time since the early 2000's.

I remember back in 2004, he said Nintendo would release a console that was stronger and faster than Xbox and Playstation combined, with GTA probably as a launch title.

Adam Sessler had a field day with that.

Playstation console won’t exist. It will be an app.

This man gives me hope that anyone can do anything. Even if you do a really shitty job at whatever you do

This guy....

Why are people still giving this guy an audience? Why are you still listening? For clickbait articles? Really? This guy is worse than Dave Meltzer.

He made a prediction like this a few years ago didn’t he? Does anyone take this clown seriously?

Mr Pachter doing his work again, a pleasure to behold this future teller...

Has this guy ever got anything right, for an analyst he sure talks some 💩

Have not listened to this guy ever.

everything he "predicts" never comes true.

im not sure why anyone listens to him at all.

Will anyone remember this prediction in 10 years regardless of the outcome? Useless lol

I Predict Michael Pachter Will Not Exist In 10 Years

Someone is wanting to be noticed today.

Unlikely.

MP needs to retire and enjoy looking at the clouds and birds - playstation will always be around !

LMAO! What a moron! Of course Playstation will exist in 10 years! PS5 is selling fantastic! PSVR2 Will be thriving this Gen too.

Probably because there are no consoles available to buy. I don’t understand why I can’t put 500 bucks in my psn account and get one instead of fighting scalpers and bots. Beyond ridiculous after all this time to still not be in stores.

Man I wish I got paid to be wrong all the time

I hope this dude realizes April Fools Day is a few weeks away.

Pach Attack… and it’s a miss

After reading, I can see why he thinks KS that, but its total $hit. I'm not even in to Sony, but everyone knows that their first party games are absolute juggernauts. They always sell very well. Even days gone sold well. Even after the critics made it sound aggressively mediocre. Good game on pc, btw. No, Sony will be fine. I just think MSwill be actual competition, now. But they won't kill off playstation. Just won't happen.

This guy hasn’t been relavent in years. And hasn’t been knowledgeable or correct in any “predictions” in twice that time.
Why anyone still reports what he says is beyond me.

Why is anything he says get any traction???

Can we wish he doesn't exist in 10 years?

Why would anyone credible go on RDX?

Remember folks, this guy is getting paid to be an analyst. Lol

Hopefully he will disappear in 10 years.

Danm it thought we was done with this idiot

I predict that he won’t exist in 10 years.

Come on now Patcher is still relevant? Seriously?

This is some convenient timing.

Who?

Does anyone care what he thinks anymore? He’s been wrong on most of his visions of the future.

(This is BS) I was going to give indepth reasoning but feel those first 3 words says it all

So - no PS6 equivalent predicted; given that the PS5 has around 5 more years in its lifetime and the PS6 will likely take the brand into 10 from now?
Hard to believe...certainly not my prediction..! 🙃

The replies should get interesting.

was this the same guy that predicted that Consoles will be dead?

This guy is an idiot... always has been

How does this clown still have a base to spout his nonsense? All I ever see is trash spewing from his mouth every time he opens it.

That means it'll exist another 10 years.

Well I trust this man's word because he's never wrong. He's like a modern day nostradamus

Coming from the guy who's never been right once lol

He’s such a hack.

This guy is wrong so often he could be a weather man.

I never believe a word Patcher says him predicting Playstation not existing in 10 years is worse then a fortune teller at a cheap carnival who smells like cheap bourbon.

Patcher needs to be patched. Too many bugs and errors

Misspelt Xbox

He never ceases to lower his credibility since G4TV days

Sp it will definitely exist in 10 years as 90% of the time bar things that are really obvious the exact opposite of what he predicts happens.

So I have a degree in physics and a good understanding of tech. Also most of my predictions are either correct or in the right ball park (not just for gaming but also other things like politics and stuff) I have great data analytic skills (kinda a given you know... multiple physics degrees) anyone wanna... you know maybe fucking hire me ffs rather than hiring idiots like this guy? I'm not joking speaking as someone stuck working in a supermarket the world's fucked up. -_-

I’ll take that bet with Pachter. How much is he willing to put on it?

All Sony has to do to exist in 10 years….make a PlayStation 6. This will age poorly.

I predict Michael Pachter will not exist in 10 years.

The only time I remember that this man exists is when he opens his mouth for attention.

Does he mean in name only? And they just call everything Sony Films, Sony Games, Sony Music, Sony TV or whatever the case maybe Sony Meta? LoL If he’s talking about that then maybe sure since companies are weird like that. But if he’s talking about PlayStation literally not existing in 10 years then the man is delusional to which if past is prologue then he is.

I think he meant ps5 will cease to exist in 10 yrs for the arrival of ps6.

I predict Michael Pachter won't exist in the next ten years

This is excellent news! long may playstation live!

Pachter has a 100% track record of being wrong

Nothing will exist for Michael Pachter in 10 years...

He's saying these bullshit things against Sony all of a sudden because Wedbush Securities has been caught with their pants down on having too little Sony stocks in their portfolio when Sony has been rising rising and rising.

Ask yourself why would their firm increase Sony holdings by 4% coming into 2022 when he has such negative opinions of it.

Scaring people off with big headlines will suppress the price so they can buy some more at a price they want.

Didn't he say this 10 years ago? That's not even a remotely believable prediction (especially when PS is raking in the sales), I'm more inclined to believe Xbox hardware won't exist and will be a subscription service instead, rather than PS not existing as a brand. But Pachter has never gotten anything right before, no reason to think he will this time.

I'm having whatever Pachter is drinking.

i wonder why people still listen to the idiot...

Well if you think about it all things have to end, how long can gaming go on?
Playing devils advocate of course, hopefully it doesn't die but transforms, imagine gaming in 100 years.

What to say.... Out of 10 things he "predicts" 11 do not happen LOL. Come ooonnn, are you 9 years old. When I just remember when he said that consoles are dying, smartphones are going to get stronger than consoles.... Why even make topic about what this guy says

Longer career than Ms. Cleo
