0 aPrediction: Could the price of Xbox Live skyrocket?

According to Michael Pachter, a well-known gaming analyst, Xbox Live prices could double in the coming year. He projects this increase because Microsoft's profits have mostly been due to Live fees. This news comes from GameInformer.com, and the comments have been very negative. The article, linked below, has received a one-star rating from disgruntled Xbox users.

Thank you, Microsoft, for generating so much support for Sony!

Remember, though- Pachter has been wrong many times before. He also claimed the Mass Effect series was headed to the PS3. Of course, much to my dismay, it has not as of the writing of this post.
