Forums - Nintendo - Pachter: "I admit it, I was wrong" about Wii HD

In casting his predictions ahead of the impending E3 event in Los Angeles, Michael Pachter has stated "I admit it, I was wrong" regarding Nintendo planning to release an HD version of their hugely successful Wii console.

His comments, taken from the latest episode of Gametrailers.com 'Pach-Attack,' are as follows "I think Wii HD is not happening. I admit it, I was wrong. I think Nintendo just does not agree with me that they need to do something to stave off competition from Sony with the Move, Microsoft with Natal. I think those guys are going to take some share from Nintendo in 2011; without a Wii HD, I think Nintendo will wait until it's a little too late to launch that device."

Of course it isn't unusual to find Pachter making incorrect assumptions, so it will be during Nintendo's E3 Conference when we will discover if they are to unveil any plans to improve upon the current console's highest resolution capability of 480p.

Pachter seems to have been humbled.

Here is the episode



Pachter also admitted he was wrong at the pre-E3 round table on GameTrailers.com in which the analysts predicted what Nintendo would show for E3.

So this means that Nintendo will release Wii HD after all. Given that he is now predicting the opposite :)



This is like admitting that kicking the dog wasn't a good idea, after it has savagely bitten off your testicles, broken your arm and taken a leak on your leg.

No ****, Sherlock?

I strongly approve of this post.



Barely qualifies as anything. It's like saying "Yeah, i'm sorry. Sorry you're so stupid."



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I'd laugh if Nintendo announced a Wii HD now.

He'd be wrong about saying he was wrong.
