Forums - Nintendo - Pachter : Wii HD Coming 'FALL 2010' -- Do you agree?!

Metallicube on 25 October 2009

NO, Patcher is a moron... didn't this bonehead also say a Wii HD was coming in 2008? And then again in 2009? Honestly how dense is this man??

Why would nintendo have ANY reason to fracture their consumer base and cut off the lifespan of the most successful console of all time?? The HD consoles are clearly not the success stories this gen (at least from a relative perspective). Why in the holy hell would Nintendo adopt a LOSING STRATEGY?

Nintendo should not even think about releasing a new console until AT LEAST 2012 in my honest opinion.

I predict that if Pachter continues to predict the arrival of the Wii HD every few months or so for the next few years, eventually he'll be right.

Yes...he is a devious one /Homer Simpson

 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Can anyone tell me why Nintendo would launch their next gen console in 2010 or 2011?

1986,1991,1996,2001,2006 These are the years in which nintendo releases a new console fully in America. If you see the diffrence in which they were released. 5 years is their stredgy. Also it follows a other pattern .Nes was a revolution.SNES perfected it.N64 was a revolution. GC perfected it. Wii is a revolution. Wii 2 will perfect it. Also the revlution system's year ended in 6. The one perfected system ends in 1 There is your answer

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

your argument is terribly flawed, first off trying to discern trends from numbers in the past, or numerology isn't a reliable argument. Secondly N64 was not a revolution but an evolution, Nintendo was following where PC's were going, only NES and Wii have been revolutionary Thirdly, NES was launched in NA in 1985, not 86, and was released in Japan in 1983, meaning it was seven years before it's successor was released. Also here is something your forget, expect for the NES, Nintendo never launches first

Looks likely to be 2011 then but they will continue to heavily support the Wii for a fair few years afterwards imho.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

still it mostly holds true, there is at least reason to believe his argument has ground to stand on.  Past trends are nice to look at but the future can always be different as people are caring less about the changes in technology as time goes on.  This doesn't feel like a generation that is coming to an end, it feels like it's just warming up.  As long as MS and Sonoy aren't releasing their new console Nintendo won't either.  I don't see it happening soon.  2010 is absolutely out of the question.
