Pachter's massive games industry report continues to be full of fun predictions. In our latest installment of "Pachter says a load of stuff that people inevitably hate him for," the prominent Wedbush Morgan analyst continues to give Sony a good outlook, stating that PlayStation games will account for 31% of the market.

The professional guesser states that the PS2 brand will become far less relevant this year, but that the PS3 will rise in prominence and pick up its slack, leading to a very strong PlayStation brand overall and allowing "software sales for Sony consoles to account for 31% of all game software sold worldwide."

He notes that, as PS2 game sales peter out, PS3 game sales have more than doubled in the past year. Also, while Pachter believes that Sony will fail to "secure significant third party exclusivity," its focus on first party blockbusters will see PS3 titles become the top sellers in future. 

Pachter's last point seems to clash with recent stats that suggest PS3 exclusives are not selling as well as they should, but perhaps the long-fabled price drop could have an effect here. We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, do you agree with Michael on this one, or do you still question why he has a job?
