"Obviously the Wii right now is a big bundle of fun. It was the toy of choice in Q4 2007. But a lot of this was down to it being a craze or fad. Like hoola hoops once were. This will not continue when it is generally seen as being out of date."

"Over lifetime the PS3 and 360 will both sell more than Wii. This is because they will have 10 year product lives."

 

 

Technically, the above is true, and Disco will of course live forever. But the most perplexing part of this fad, which has gone on for some 12 months now, is, well, see previous. 12 months. Of being called a fad. Which gives me less of a "Flock of Seagulls" or "Lance Armstrong trend whore bracelet" fad, but quite literarily, a hoola-hoop fad which was something new and different that didn't even hit it's peak for 3 years. Weird choice of compairson. Definately seems like someone snapping their fingers and saying "Now! Now it will stop! Now!". May happen, may not. I won't make my predictions till I get at least half of Pachters salary.

Although the second line, you're repeating verbatim marketing bullshit, which, judging by your title and blogging journal, is fair, but still midly irritating. I can refrain from linking everything with the CICA handbook. Can you give me an answer that has substance and not a tagline to be said in interviews? Ps3 with it's limited space and apparently new massive installs will have 10 years of constantly making new SKU's? Microsoft will find that their goal of direct TV is accomplished, but will be outclassed by other products that aren't seen as a homophobe center? Games will be released (Go Dreamcast!). What?
