Yeah, Pachter is right by means of his wording. He's basically said that IF sales decline rapidly we'll see a new DS. We all know they won't. He even knows it, I'm sure.
Also, Pachter didn't predict a Wii2 in 2009, he predicted a WiiHD in 2009 that has been postponed to 2010 due to the inordinate success of the Wii and he is very likely right. An HD upgrade wouldn't be any different from the GB to GBC switch, which is officially not a change in generations, and would be massive money in the bank for Nintendo. Not only would Nintendo be right in making that choice, but they'd be wrong in not making it. It's just that 2009 is too soon to do so because they haven't managed to saturate the market yet.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
