Did some digging and here are some other gems of wisdom from Pachter:

- PS3/360/Wii will be the last console generation

- Red Dead Redemption won't have mass appeal and won't become a blockbuster franchise

- GTA5 to launch in 2010

- Wii motion controls won't be accepted by the community and consequently Nintendo will exit the hardware business

- Kinect will be $50 (It was three times that)

- Nintendo will make a mid-gen Wii HD

A+

Eh, the way I see it, Wii U doesn't have that much in common with the Wii besides the branding really.

Wii was a easy-to-understand, accessible blue ocean console that removed barriers to entry for gaming, Wii U was a confusing, user-unfriendly red ocean console that added barriers to entry.

From what I hear, in terms of the processor, Wii is basically an overclocked Gamecube. While WiiU uses a tri-core Wii processor.

So that may be the similarities he was referring to.

Well, the Xbox One uses the same RAM (GDDR3) as the Xbox 360, doesn't mean the Xbone is a hardware revision of the 360.
