Pachter Factor Questions February 2020

Comments

With Apple, Amazon, Microsoft & Google worth over a trillion dollars each, are these companies to big to fail? What could cause a company this big to collapse and how likely would that be?

Dear pachter, if an index existed, compiling stocks from all video game developers, similar to vanguard with other corporations, how would that index perform and how would a console release year effect that index?

Dear Pachter, How important is it to be on point when the first of PlayStation and Microsoft announce their console price. If the first one to announce is undercut by the second, is there anything to prevent the first one to adjust the price before it even launches?

Hi Pach! In the recent quarterly releases, Sony's Playstation division seemed to be outpacing Microsoft's Xbox division. Is that simply the nature of there being additional Sony consoles, or are their operating models beginning to diverge?

Hey Pach. I would like to know your thoughts on Rod Fergusson moving over to Blizzard and Dan Houser leaving Rockstar. Two big moves in as many days. Hope you are well.

what sells consoles? is it 1st party games? is it hard ware? is it pricing? is it technology? is it its game line up? inquiring minds want to know. I honestly hold no allegiance to no console cause they have no allegiance to me. you get nothing for support just one system. plus i don't want to miss any great game cause i will only play it lets say its only on Nintendo. side note for Shane i bumbed up my subscription to a higher tier cause i want great content like this to stay. i was so happy when i found out Pach was back with his knowledge i would hate for this to go a way again. plus i enjoy ask Shane anything.

How many shares do Sony and Microsoft own of each other? Will Stadia fill Sony's gap at E32020?

Are controllers really so expensive to make to justify the price tag on them? Sure it's gone from simple buttons to dual analogue sticks, motors, triggers, ergonomic form factors, wireless and LEDs - but damn those are expensive

It's been months since Shawn Layden left PlayStation and we still don't know why. Has he signed a lifelong NDA? Why do you think he was let go, did they part on good terms?

Daniel Ahmad reported that Ubisoft expects 3 of its games to be released between October and December, with 2 more to follow after between January and March. What do you think about Ubisoft’s release schedule? This seems crammed to me.

Which company/publisher has the best recurrent revenue strategy in the long run from your POV and how do you think this affects the industry?
