"I think it's a bad idea for multiple participants to chase it, and I think it's a really bad idea for Sony," said Pachter.
The situation with Oculus Rift, however, is different because the firm is a start-up.
"I have no problem with the Oculus Rift, that they're trying it, because they're a start-up and that's a very small market and if they dominate it that's great, but if it's a small market and there are multiple players, it's gonna be hard for anybody to make money.
"And I don't think it's gonna be a big market. It sounds interesting, but I don't think...
The clarification follows this morning's report that Sony would be leading a "focused restructure" at three of its European studios – including Evolution.
An exact number of those affected by the layoffs has yet to be confirmed.
Nevertheless, DriveClub is still without a release date following its delay late last year and is technically still on track for an "early 2014" launch.
Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida confirmed last week that DriveClub had not been delayed in order to implement support for upcoming VR tech Project Morpheus.
UK studios Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Cambridge and SCE London Studio have each been affected, and while total numbers have yet to be confirmed, VideoGamer.com understands that numerous people from each studio have been made redundant.
"Regular reviews take place throughout SCE Worldwide Studios, ensuring that the resources that we have in such a competitive business can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects," a Sony spokesperson told us this morning.
"As part of this process, we have reviewed and assessed all current projects...
Can't wait to see where it goes from here, says Marc Whitten.
"Part of what's awesome to me right now is I think you're starting to see what Xbox One can become," Whitten explained. "So much for us was around, 'Hey, let's build this architecture that we could rev quickly, that we could add to, that was flexible, that would allow us to do more things and do more things quickly.'"
He concluded: "It's a great time to be on Xbox... and it's just beginning. There's so many things. I can't wait to see where it goes from here."

But its success can largely be attributed to huge numbers outside of the US.
Whilst the Aaron Paul flick has stalled in the US, earning just $30.5 million to date, the international takings have ensured the movie has easily passed the $100 million mark.
Much of NFS's takings have come from China which so far accounts for $41.7 million, just under a third of the combined total.
Expect the movie to speed past the $150 million milestone next weekend.

New single-player content to come in anywhere between 6-10GB.
"For our #BurialAtSea #EpisodeTwo fans on Xbox 360 tomorrow, please note due to the size, there will be two downloads in order to play," Irrational tweeted last night.
It isn't known how big each of the downloads will be, but the developer states that Episode 2 comes in between 6-10GB depending on platform. It also isn't clear why two files are required, especially considering Games on Demand titles have previously demanded bigger downloads.
Nevertheless, Irrational says that the content is due to hit Xbox Live right around now, with a PC release expected between 5-7pm...
Last-minute 'issue' forces delay on today's expansion pack.
The expansion pack had been due to arrive to Premium members today, but will now arrive at a later unspecified date. The launch on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 remains unaffected.
"We are delaying the launch of Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC," DICE wrote on Battlelog. "We've detected an issue and it needs to be solved. Quality is our number one priority and we will not release Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible.

InFamous prompts bigger hardware boost than Titanfall, report claims.
The site claims to have been told of the console's success by a "trusted retail source", and is also believed to have been helped by a fresh wave of PS4 stock arriving with retailers last week.
The boost in sales is even higher than that seen by Microsoft earlier this month, which experienced a 96 per cent boost in Xbox One console sales following the launch of Titanfall.
PlayStation 4 has sold over 6 million units worldwide, with InFamous: Second Son snatching the top spot in this week's All-Formats chart.
Gained 41 million registered users worldwide since its Russian launch back in 2009.
The game would be easy to dismiss if it weren't for the massive 41 million registered users gained since it launched in Russia back in 2009.

The team was asked to bring the game to the home consoles by Shahid Ahmad and Spencer Low who help run the Strategic Content team at SCEE.
Development on the ports is being handled in partnership with Barcelona-based BlitWorks and a first playable version on PS4 is already up and running. Roll7's Simon Bennett says "it really feels amazing on the Dualshock 4 too".
In addition, a crash bug for the PS Vita game is close to being fixed, and the patch will be included in an update which will bundle in other bits that "should put a smile on people's faces too".
Reaper of Souls post-launch content updates planned, but long-term plans for franchise still being discussed.
Discussing Blizzard's long-term plans for Diablo with us this morning, Mayberry explained that Blizzard was "still evaluating" whether to develop any further expansions following tonight's launch of Reaper of Souls.
"We're already planning out what the next content update will be but we're not making... We're still talking about what the long-view is for the franchise, mainly because we want to see how people react to Reaper," he said. "We want to make sure that we don't get ahead of the community and start going down some road that won't lead us to where we want to go.
A complete walkthrough to Heide’s Tower of Flame, plus how to grab the essential Ring of Binding along the way.
Go through the arch on the right and down the steps, you’ll be greeted with a welcoming “Heide’s Tower of Flame” text on your screen. At the bottom of the eroding steps will be the first enemy, a giant green statue-looking figure clutching a sword and shield. To the right of him are some stairs leading to the first bonfire. Sprint straight past the knight and rest at the bonfire. Fighting this foe immediately and losing means being kicked all the way back to Majula, so make sure you rest first.
There are three different forms of these green knights; one with a sword and...
