Soooooo. Patcher thinks Nintendo will release a new console soon (despite the Wii is stomping the other guys) and that Sony and Microsoft will wait? Does he even believe himself anymore. Also......
"We do not expect the 'next' generation to begin before 2013, if at all. We remain convinced that the publishers will resist the introduction of any video game hardware technology that requires a refresh of software, as the publishers have as yet to capitalize on the immense investments made in being competitive in the current cycle."
That's not how it works. Consoles are released as software and hardware sales slump (like they are for the PS3 and 360). Publishers only follow the trend. The only time they resist is when there is a console that still has momentum, like, I don't know, the Wii.
