It was just yesterday that we relayed the rumor that PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox console are E3-bound. But if famous Wedbush Morgan Securities industry analyst Michael Pachter is to be trusted, MCV's report is off the mark.
Financial magazine and website Forbes is reporting quotes from Pachter about MCV's rumor. "I think there's zero chance of a tease from Sony for PlayStation 4," Pachter told Forbes, continuing that a new Xbox at E3 is unlikely, too, placing the odds at "20 percent."
"Neither console is launching in 2013, so there's no reason to tease them in 2012," Pachter concluded.
This flies in the face of the original MCV report, the source of which was described by MCV editor Ben Parfitt on Twitter as "exemplary, 100% concrete, ultra high level."
Of course, such a claim doesn't necessarily pinpoint who could possibly know the rival companies well enough to be intimately familiar with both Sony's and Microsoft's E3 plans. But MCV's Editor-in-Chief Michael French did tell IGN that their report is "very credible."
With MCV's report and Michael Pachter's analysis contrasting with one another, it remains to be seen what Sony and Microsoft have planned in terms of their next consoles and when they might be revealed. But feel free to do some speculating of your own in the comments below.
以上原文,以下个人翻译
我们昨天刚放出了一则关于PS4和XBOX下一代主机将会在E3公布的谣言。但如果著名的摩根证券分析师迈克.帕切特可以被信任的话,MCV的报到便是不准确的。
财经杂志和网站福布斯发布了帕切特对MCV的这则谣言的评论。“我认为索尼在E3上公布PS4的可能性为0,”帕切特补充道,“XBOX的下一代也同样不太可能在E3上公布,虽然有20%左右的几率。”
“(PS4和XBOX次代)没有任何一部新主机会在2013年和玩家见面,更别提出现在2012年了”帕切特总结道。
这则文件和MCV之前声称可信度100%的谣言针锋相对。
当然,这样的声明并不完全能说明他们中任何一方与索尼和微软的已经密切到了解索微对于次时代主机的计划和发售时间。但MCV的主编确实曾告诉过我们他们的消息十分可靠。
MCV的报道和帕切特的分析截然相反,但是索尼和微软究竟何时回发布他们的次时代主机仍是未知数。 |
