Firstly, if we already have this in a thread, please provide a link.
Secondly, if not, check out this link (plus it's something Pachter said a while ago, so either they are copying him, perhaps accidentally, or he really is their mouthpiece). Everything below the link is a quote from the article.

Are you one of those people gagging for an HD Wii? According to publisher Take-Two, the wait is almost over, since Sony has us covered!
"What Sony and Microsoft have really done with Kinect and Move, especially Move, is provide a bridge for guys that are used to playing the Wii system with the wand and bringing them over to a HD system," says CEO Ben Feder. "The PS3 with Move, in my view, is the Wii HD system. I think maybe mom isn't playing, but the kids are graduating, and Microsoft and Sony have both provided a bridge to bring them over."
I disagree with that statement, mostly for the fact that people wanted an HD Wii to see better looking versions of Nintendo franchises. Acting like Move meets the demand for an HD Wii represents a sad attitude I've noticed in the industry -- the attitude that seems to think copying hardware is enough.
Software is what is important, and when Move gets experiences that match Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda or even Kirby's Epic Yarn, then we can call it the Wii HD.

Yeah, that's why the Gamecube and the Nintendo 64 sold bucket loads...
You know as well as everyone else here that Mario, Zelda and Kirby are not the reasons why the Wii sold as well as it did.
Games like WiiSports, WiiFit and WiiPlay are why. Soon to possibly add WiiParty to that list.
Those other games means shit when it come to the why the Wii was a success.

Which is still a Nintendo Franchise... nobody makes better versions of "new style" entertainment then Nintendo.
Which is the real issue Move and Kinnect will have. Will the companies who struck out on the Wii suddenly be able to make good motion based games? Seems... unlikely.
Which means it's going to be all on Sony and Microsoft's back to create the killer applications to get people interested.
Everyone bought a Wii because of Wii sports, wii fits and the like. All the clones of said Wii franchises sell worse... and even sell worse then the Nintendo Core games. There is something Nintendo has with it's software that's going to be hard for Sony and Microsoft to duplicate.
Will the Sony and Microsoft copies bring in the buisness... or will they be just like all the third party wii software that copies the Wii and just not have the juice for some reason. It should be interesting to see.
