Michael Pachter: PS3 sales stabilizing

Gamasutra informs that in light of the February’s upcoming NPD US chart – expected on March 15th – Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter has predicted that the Wii will once again outsell the PlayStation 3 with 350,000 units predicted for the Wii over the 200,000 of Sony‘s PlayStation 3. This may sound bad for Sony, but Pachter does predict that the PlayStation 2 will see continued strong software sales, of as much as US$ 120 million.

Pachter notes that he expects to see PS3 sales to stabilize at 50,000 units per week, and notes that this figure might increase as more game titles are delivered. He also sees the release of Blu-ray movie content as a blessing for PS3 hardware sales, especially with the November release of Spider-Man 3.

Pachter notes that despite recent weakness in publisher stocks due to uncertainty and anecdotal evidence of poor PS3 hardware sales, “investors should remain comfortable owning video game publisher stocks.”
