Does he never learn? Teh current d0med (portable) console is 3DS, why had he to break the line d0ming Wii2 far too early and possibly spoiling teh d0mehype? Somebody should have a word with him, he must learn that even an analyst god may be wrong once in a while!

I had the same feeling. Maybe he felt the need to explain it again with other words!

His logic is sound. He says that the Wii2 will fail without third party support and that right after a generation when Nintendo won in the handheld and home console market without third party support.


Yep, pachterlogic has an enviable coherence and consistency.

He didn't say it'd fail, he said it'd fail to sell more than the Wii. In respect to both the Wii and DS and their 3DS and Wii 2 counter-parts it isn't too unsafe to say that they may sell less than their previous incarnations. The Wii is selling more than 100M consoles LTD, and the DS will sell well over 160M.

Since we know that the 3DS is essentially a DS2 plus 3D and is coming into more handheld competition than the DS ever faced from the likes of Apple and it doesn't seem to hold any revolutionary new values to the same extent the DS had over the GBA and whilst the Wii 2 is still unknown at this point the majority of what made Wii new and innovative has now been incorporated into competing consoles.



Tease.

Someone contact KnowYourMeme.com .  I am pushing to have "Pachter doesn't know..." go viral.

I think the majority of disagreement with Mr. Pachter will come as a result of the idea that it's not hardware features the make a platform unique or successful, it's games.

Games yes but since a lot of software is multiplatform truthfully the most unique thing about each platform is actually the operating system and the associated services.

No, not at all, particularly not for the systems with Nintendo games.

Nintendo games aren't the reason why the Wii is as popular as it is.  The N64 and GC were home to a better library of Nintendo games than the Wii but didn't sell near as well.
