Pachter Factor Episode 83

Is PlayStation VR going to become obsolete? Why did Microsoft let Activision's timed exclusives slip away? Did Uncharted: The Lost Legacy bomb? Which developer would Pach want to work for? All this and more! 

Pachter Factor Episode 83

Comments

Hey Pach! The Zero Punctuation guy has a while ago proposed a game development model where consoles are more like DVD-players: No exclusives, everything runs everywhere. Do you see that happen and why did it happen for video in the first place?

I'll take your word for it

He actually is, though.

David Jaffe doesn't seem like a nice guy

Mr Pachter. You spoke about the cell phone upgrade idea with your console. I remember you saying on PachAttack you saw a console cellphone contract style system coming in. That was a couple+ years ago. Why can't I pay a £20-£50 ($25-$65) (whatever price works) a month fee to get my PlayStation4 and PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now and PSVR with no upfront fees and a "free" upgrade to PlayStation 4 Pro/ PlayStation4 Slim (which come every cycle in around 2 years) I would have bought $100 of PSVR Software if I had been given the PSVR system "free" I could also have sold my PS4 and felt great with the £100 trade in money. To me personally I pay for my iPhone on a contract £30 a month for 18 months pay off the phone and get "free" calls texts and data. Then I trade in the phone and upgrade every 18 months. I already pay £35 a year for PSN plus £300 upfront for a console it seems Sony could take more bottom line selling this way and I would always feel ahead of the market place. Is this going to happen?
