But what is even more incredible is that he isn't able to make the leap of faith that Nintendo may just have a decent 1st party (and hence 3rd party) line-up by the time its competition gets started.

The PS4 and nextbox should drop between September and November. It is already approaching May. How can anyone say the 1st and third party will be good by this time. Especially when almost all third party games are on PC, 360, PS3?

By using logic. Nintendo has barely released any games on a home console in the past 3 years. Do you think they're twiddling their thumbs?

I'll just tell you, they're not.

My post said nothing regarding Nintendo's third party which is obviously coming. Nintendo's first party does not sell all of Nintendo's hardware on is its own. I am thinking of the 64 and GameCube, so Pachter has plenty of reason to think more games will not create substantial sales increases along the lines that will cause the system to sell more than the N64.

Your question was "How can anyone say the 1st and third party will be good by this time."

For 1st party, the question is answered. As for 3rd party, looking at the Wii should give you an idea. By 2007, a few important games were released that sold a lot of units. Here is Carl's analysis and my response.
