Pachter said that Nintendo, “Should not have made a new console on last generation technology.”

It worked so bad last time...

Why is this guy everywhere? His predictions are almost always wrong. Someday I'm going to find his face in a cereal box...

“Should not have made a new console on last generation technology.” He further added, that the Wii U’s gamepad and new control scheme is not intuitive or innovated enough to capture the masses like its predecessor the Wii did.

Patchers is really level headed analyst and he normally speak alot of sense. More often then not people just refuse to acknowledge the logic in his arguement (like above). The Wii U will do fine but does anyone actually think that the Wii U pad has anywhere near the selling power of the orginal wii mote??

The control scheme in the Wii U is a DS with the top screen replaced with a TV. Personally I've never heard people saying that the DS was not intuitive.

Innovated enough? Well, that was easy to say. Nobody has innovated so much like Nintendo did last gen in the last 20 years. It was very unlikely that they were going to innovate this gen more than the last one, they aren't magicians after all.

Not innovative enough for it sell the system on its own. I think its apples and oranges when comparing it to 2004's DS, better yet the DS was not a big success until it recieved games like nintendogs and brain training. Those same titles no longer carry any weight in the industry. Do you personally think the Wii U's pad is going to appeal to the casual gamers, and do you not think that its lack of power will limit its appeal to the more core audience?
