I think Nintendo sorta blew it.  Athough Pachter was always wrong, he should have been right baout the WiiHD launching in '09 and it should have had M standard, with WSR as an upgrade for people who don't care about output resolution.  With a move like that their sales wouldn't have dipped and they'd have ample support for a product that genuinely improves the experience.  We'll see after the new Zelda, I guess, since that's really going to prove whther or not its going to get support at all.

No I'm glad Pachter was wrong. Wii HD would basically be the PSP Go of console releases.

They just need more motion plus games, not high-definition graphics.

Hah.  More like the Gameboy Color - an adequate way of extending the system's life while adding enough to spur on more development.  Basically, it'd have increased the lifespan of the system so that Nintendo has the time to develop a proper successor, which may be further out than most think.

Do your research. The GBC came out in 1999, ten years after the original GB. The Wii hasn't even been out half that long, and is selling even faster than the GB, with more hits and killer apps. Claiming it needs a life extention shows you either don't know the facts or are deliberately ignoring them.

You're right.  My bad.  How about DSLite?  Maybe GBASP.  Maybe one of the many other pieces of slightly updated hardware Nintendo is so fond of in the handheld market that all helped to extend their lives and create new peak sales rates.
