The Vitality Sensor is a gamble by Nintendo. They need to show what it can do. If it does things useful then it will carve out another niche. I believe Pachter, in his role, has to come off as knowing everything. Because of this, if he doesn't get it, then he thinks it is stupid and won't sell. He probably can't give conditional anything like, "If it has this app or that then Nintendo has something else". He also likely has to hope the Wii does fade so he can fall back into his comfort zone and not work hard for a living at what he does, with the chance of him being VERY wrong.
