You know the real sad thing. Pachter is an analyst and he's supposed to know which direction the industry is going. He's supposed to make predictions based on sound buisness moves and tell investors where to invest their money. I can't help but get the feeling either he's really really bad at his job or he's purposely trying to off Nintendo.
Anyone from a buisness standpoint would see a simple WiiHD released in 2011 with the power of the X-Box 360 would only last a year or two on the market. He says how developers would be able to port over their new releases, what happens when Nex-Box and PS4 come out? The WiiHD would be totally out gunned, nobody could port titles over to it. Then without any special innovative features how would Nintendo sell a last generation Wii upgrade? With Kinect and Move like controllers on PS4/Nex-Box the WiiHD would have no appeal.
A WiiHD would be extremely near sited. it may bring some short term profits but would die out within a year or two. Pachter of all people should know that a WiiHD released now would be suicide for Nintendo. I refuse to believe he's actually that stupid I mean the guy is educated and works at one of the most respected companies in America.
He can't actually believe WiiHD is a smart decision!
