Pachter: “PlayStation Now Is a Joke… Has No Prayer of Working”

By Alex Osborn

Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter doesn't believe Sony's cloud-based streaming service will prove to be successful, going so far as to call it a "joke."

In the latest issue of Game Informer, Pachter explains:

PlayStation Now is a joke. There is no publisher that is going to license content that's less than two-years old because they would be concerned that they can't sell as many copies if they make it available for subscription or rental.

This has no prayer of working. None.
