We're shooting the first round of Pachter Factor for 2024 and we need your questions!

Feel free to ask him about any big trends he sees happening in 2024. Plus, Nintendo has a pivotal year coming with the unveiling of the successor to Switch! So many Marvel secrets were revealed in the Insomniac Games hack, PlayStation 5 is now outselling Xbox Series X three-to-one, Starfield is struggling to maintain its audience, video game voice acting is going AI, we now know Game Pass had over $5000 worth of games in 2023, and so much more!

As usual, try to ask some questions that will be interesting both now and a few weeks from now. If you want a more thorough refresher of all the big stories from the last month use this link:

Thanks as always to everyone who asks questions! The show is only as good as your questions and we appreciate your help!

Hey Pach! What do you think the odds are of 2024's COD being on Gamepass? Do we know yet how the various MS/Sony agreements are going to work?

Hi Pach. I live in Foster City right next to Sony. At the Target across the street from Sony these are the retail shelves. https://photos.app.goo.gl/weqdpGTa6MYkcEPaA I presume the console manufacturers pay for this space? What is the point of this anymore, the shelves are empty & it is mostly redemption cards, not even real game boxes. I don't understand why no one from Sony has walked across the street and insisted this be addressed. How can retail sales survive if neglected like this?

Hey Pach! Do you think that there is anything Microsoft can do to regain ground this generation? Owning Bethesda and Activision Blizzard don't seem to have moved the needle much in any direction. Given the current state of Xbox, do you think a price cut would help them gain ground? And if so, how much of a price cut would they need?
