Michael Pachter’s back with another of his two cents, this time regarding the power of the PS3. In the latest episode of Pach-Attack, he makes no qualms admitting that it’s his platform of choice. And of course, he had to make his declaration sound controversial by saing that the PS3 is more powerful than 90% of all PCs.

Asked if he thinks the PC market is dead, he posits it’s getting there. “The PC market if you think about it just as package products sold — and let’s include Steam in there, not subscription like World of Warcraft is something like six or seven percent of total games sales — it’s not a big number,” he started.

“It’s becoming a declining industry becaues you can get a near PC experience on a console right now, and I know flamers, you all have PCs that just crap all over the PS3 and are much, much more powerful. But the PS3 is a pretty powerful box and it’s probably more powerful than 90 percent of PCs out there.”

For the final slam: “The Xbox 360 is probably more powerful than 85% of PCs out there.”In not so many words, Pachter doesn’t think PCs can do the trick.
