Submit Pachter Factor Questions Right Now!

We're ready for another round of Pachter Factor episodes and oh my has it been a busy last month or so! We need your questions!

Just in the last month the deal for Microsoft to buy Activision/Blizzard went through, VGC reported that the successor to Switch will release in late 2024 and will be another handheld/console hybrid, the PlayStation 5 has fallen behind the PS4 in sales numbers, Baldur's Gate III became the highest-reviewed game ever, a lazy port of Red Dead Redemption was announced, the PlayStation 5 Slim was kind of leaked, Assassin's Creed Mirage will be 1/5 the size of Valhalla, the handheld PC market is quickly becoming crowded, Square Enix is disappointed in Final Fantasy XVI sales, Take-Two is adding a second $20 season pass to NBA 2K24, and so much more!

As usual, try to ask some questions that will be interesting both now and a few weeks from now. If you want a refresher of all the big stories from the last month use this link:

Hey Pach, the photos in the link were taken at the Target across the street from Sony USA in San Mateo. What is the point of all this empty shelf space? It reeks of a systemic issue of not enough software. Both PlayStation and Xbox are empty shelves. I don't understand. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SveCGKDXBfZ4eRoD7 -Evan Adams Foster City, CA

Hey Pach! As the Microsoft deal seemingly rolls to a close, what do you think of the full deal in the context of the regulatory fight? Will this deal still be worth it to Microsoft? Does the difficulty of this deal chill the prospects of other large industry M&A deals?
