But according to Mr. Pachter, this situation won’t last for long, especially in the next ten years.

As mentioned in SKizzleAXE‘s video, the analyst recently appeared on the RDX podcast show. And while discussing about the future of consoles, he said:

“I think PlayStation is doomed and I think they’re going to cease to exist as we know them in about ten years. They can’t compete. They have no chance of competing. They’re not a couple of years behind, it’s an insurmountable lead.”

It seems like Pachter thinks Microsoft’s Xbox will emerge victorious against Sony’s PlayStation in a decade.

Well, considering this year’s big announcement of Microsoft making a deal with Activision, one can say that it’s definitely a possibility. But still, it doesn’t mean Sony is miles behind. Unless Xbox gets a supremely invincible first-party blockbuster for itself, PlayStation won’t end up receiving a massive defeat.

Yet, for a moment, when considering the prediction, Xbox might gain an upper hand later this year. Especially with the first-party exclusive and highly anticipated open-world RPG, Starfield. The latter is set to come out on November 11, 2022, for PC and Xbox only.

It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for both PlayStation and the Xbox.

Which console do you think will win in the next ten years? Let us know in the comments.
