The links between Wedbush Morgan and the Blu Ray consortium is the gift that keeps on giving, what a duo. Wedbush Morgan has a HUGE financial stake in many Blu Ray Assocaition members including Lions Gate, Blockbuster and (it could be rumored) Sony. Remember, Pachter said the Blu Ray would be the thing that will make the PS3 kill both the 360 and the wii.
Wedbush Morgan is a fanancial group, they invest incompanies and attempt to turn profit. They even state(by law in all of their doucementation on the web that they admit freely that they have a stake in companies they represent.
Why is no statement like that present in their projections for console sales ang their opinion on the state of the industry(wink wink)
But now comes this:
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, a believer in the pull of the PlayStation brand, said, "I think brand loyalty is going to kick in for Sony, starting today. There is a huge installed base of loyal PlayStation 2 owners who have been looking for a reason to upgrade, and they have strong previous ties to the Grand Theft Auto franchise on PlayStation platforms."
He noted other upcoming PS3 exclusives may be helping along the GTA IV factor, such as Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet and SOCOM: Confrontation.
"...It seems like Sony’s in a great position right now," he said.
He mentioned Socom??? As a killer app for the PS3?
The shitty looking(check recent pics for more on that) downloadble forgetaton is a killer app for this guy?
WHy does no on mention this shit on Gaf? SonyCowboy has a lot of nice ties to Pachter and co. That is why.
:duh :wtf :wag
EDIT:
Btw he is an 'analyst' correct? What kind of analyst would project their feelings on future ps3 game sales without mentioning multiplat games? What about upcoming games like Fallout? That game is third party, and in fact every big seller for the PS3 is a third party game.(including GTA4) That would make much more sense.
cough *shill!*

Pachter is actually a really nice guy. I don't think him favoring the PS3 is based on malarky or perceived bias. The PS2 was an absolute juggernaut last generation.

His enthiusm sounds a lot like PR.
Remember, he is the one who called "X360 price cut" last E3. WHen people found this out to be false, boy what a let down..... Ps3 just get it's price cut, Pachter was 'certain ms would have to react'.
Boy was he wrong about that too. The man is a shill and again, look at who he's working for and representing.

yeah socom isn't a call of duty or anything but I think the first SOCOM game for PS3 should do well.
-
Only if it comes out on disc too. Will it?
PS3 isn't beyond saving either, huh?
-

-
Theres two Socoms coming out this year no? One of them is a DL game. The other is Socom from the Zipper guys.

I think it will do well also, but I don't think it will be a hardware mover. COD4 is one of the most casual friendly shooters out there and I have to believe that there isn't a ton of people waiting for the next casual friendly SOCOM to drop so they can pick up a PS3.
