Submit Your Pachter Factor Questions RIGHT NOW! (Patreon)

Now that we've launched Pachter Factor Live we don't ask for questions anywhere near as often as we used to. In fact, this is just the fifth call for questions in 2025! While it undoubtedly makes the show more timely to tackle the big topic of each week with the new spinoff show, your opportunities to get into the show are much more limited. So make sure you get your questions in when you get the chance!

The Switch 2 looks to be fading after a strong launch with units sitting on store shelves. Console exclusives are becoming a thing of the past, so which platform is primed to thrive in this new environment? Game developers are being fired after sharing their personal opinions. EA's Battlefield franchise looks like it might finally be able to compete with Call of Duty. Microsoft just raised prices of its consoles for the second time this year. Video games are being blamed for real world violence again. Sony finally just showed Insomniac's Wolverine game, but it's not coming until fall 2026 and PS5 exclusives look thin for the next 12 months. Nintendo is bringing back the once-failed Virual Boy platform. Xbox's "PC" handheld sold out in less than an hour at $600 and $1000.

This is just a dusting of everything that's going on in the industry right now. It's a great time to be picking the brain of our resident financial expert, Michael Pachter! He's here to answer your questions about all of it! As usual, try to ask some questions that will be interesting both now and weeks from now.
