Pachter also said he thinks 720 won't come out till 2014 in one of the recent bonus rounds on GameTrailers, and while normally he's way out there with his "predictions", I think this is a strong possibility as we've seen major games being pushed back to '13 like GTAV and Bioshock Infinite, and M$ has already blown its load regarding its major franchises, so I don't see what they could possibly have ready for launch of a new console by fall of 2013, unless they're going to rely solely on 3rd party support and multiplatform games that will still have PS360 versions anyway.
Right now I think both M$ and Sony are taking a "wait and see" approach with the Wii U, because while neither of them want to be last to release a next-gen console, neither wants to jump the gun prematurely either, and if Wii U doesn't hurt PS360 h/w and s/w sales, they may both decide to wait a bit longer and ride out each systems' current surge for the time being.
