Michael “Sinewy Eyes” Pachter has aimed his bolt of judgement at the handheld gaming space, not only criticizing Nintendo’s latest portable efforts, but roping in Sony for a bit of a lashing too. According to the mightiest of all analysts, the3DS XLis not compelling while thePS Vitacosts too much.
“The largerformat is not all that compelling for the consumer,” he said of the XL, “and although I think the XLwill help sales, I don’t think that the impact will revive weak sales of handhelds overall.
“Vita’s too expensive for most, priced pretty much the same as the PS3 everywhere. While I think the Vita is a good value and a great device, when compared to the PS3 it’s pretty expensive. Also, there is not much of a library of Vita games, so sales will probably be slow until we see more content.”
Oh that Pachter, with his … with hisopinions. His opinions onvideogame things. How could he do this to me!?
