Woopah, Nintendo have reported the above games to be supply constrained. ebay prices for Wii Fit plus are also higher than retail prices again.

I think he's underestimating the relevance of Red Steel 2 and Monster Hunter Tri, but that's fine, I can see why someone like Pachter could get blindsided by them.

really? you really think monster hunter tri and red steel 2 can push hardware like god of war 3, GT5 and MOVE can?

Where did I say anything about the latter three? What do they have to do with anything?

because Pachter is talking about games that sell really well  ands invigorate interest in the hardware.  In Pachter's view,  you need to be sell at least a million in USA to count as an exciting exclusive. PS3 has that with GoW3 and GT5 down the line as well as MOVE which will act as catalyst. Wii Vitality will probably be a much more exciting exclusive than MH3 and RS2 combined, but he cant really comment on that since we know nothing about it 

 

He is an ANALYST not a JOURNALIST

 

the article seems to be one of those peices that goes 'hey! wii has harcore games too stop ignoring them its not just casual!' Pachter isnt a HD fanboy or some kind of wii troll. he doesnt care how good the game is or how hardcore it is, only its selling potential and  potential to push hardware.

 

by bringing up  age of the gladiators as a reason for wii sales to increase over the next few months is completely and utterly stupid on the part of the article. It makes the writer completely loose all credibillty. He is in no position to criticise Pachter at all

Eh... this might be true if Pachter didn't just highlight games like Heavy Rain and MLB 10 in the same article before saying Wii wouldn't see any exciting exclusives until Mario Galaxy 2 in May.  Clearly his threshold for "exciting exclusive" is well short of 1m.
