Analyst Michael Pachter: Ubiquitous multiplayer is gaming’s future

When Michael Pachter peeked into his crystal ball, he saw that the future of the industry lies in cross-platform multiplayer. And for console players who pay for multiplayer services ($60 a year on Xbox One, and $50 a year for PlayStation 4), it’ll get much cheaper, too.

The veteran research analyst and managing director of Wedbush Securities made his prediction during his address today at the GamesBeat 2016 conference in Ranchos Palos Verdes, California.
