I'm getting an Xbox One first, then a little later the PS4. Even with all the haters on both sides of the console wars, do you guys think the PS4 will outsell the Xbox One, especially in the United States? It will be very interesting to see.
Now onto your main point, Pachter (not Patcher btw) was basing it upon Rockstar's best interest in releasing it earlier to make more money & then to be able release yet another GTA once the next-gen systems would come out. Based on that belief, he was making an assumption for all those times he was wrong. He was using common sense... common sense is mostly not always right when trying to predict the future.
