Pachter talks more about this in the pre-e3 show on GameTrailers.com

 

He states he does not believe WiiHD is coming this year. of course he thinks Nintendo is missing their chance to expand the market and compete with Move and Natal. But I think if he predicts it next year he might be right , my bet is that WiiHD or Wii2 is going to be announced and released in 2011.

Fact is Sony will not see the success Nintendo saw when they release Move. Microsoft might see about 10-million Natal's sold in its lifespan but neither format will be able to challenge Nintendo's grip on the market. All Nintendo needs to do if Move is successful is to cut the price of the Wii and/or bundle it with new software.

I think Nintendo will launch the next Wii in 2011, not giving Move or Natal more then a year to live. At the same time Microsoft will have their next console shown and Sony will likely follow suit. Meaning Natal and Move won't make any difference to Nintendo what so ever.

The best Natal and Move will do is to take up to 10% of Nintendo's marketshare between the two. But I'm guessing neither controller will even perform that well!
