I know we some of us aren't the biggest Pachter fans in the world but we might as well listen to what he's got to say even if just to mock it.

According to him Nintendo have blown their Wii 2 strategy and they should have released the Wii 2 (or as Wertville likes to call it the Super Wii Cube Entertainment System 64) by now and that 2012 will come too late. He has also made the bold claim that it will not sell well. Which I think is a stupid thing to say because not only has it not been released yet, it hasn't even been announced yet.

Also he thinks the Wii 2 should come out but the Wii still be supported, so as the Wii 2 would be an alternative with HD and better online multi player to compete with 360 instead of letting them grab all the online multi player market.

First, a disclaimer:
I didn't come up with that Super Wii Cube Entertainment System 64 (SWCES64) thing, someone else here did. I just... forget who D:
EDIT: After a forum-search, I found out it was Play 4 Fun. Though I'm the one who's currently popularizing it :D

Now that that's over with, all respect for this Pachter guy has been lost. I'm not even going to consider anything he says anymore just because of a few critical mistakes.

He suggests that Nintendo should copy the 360.
What's wrong with this?

A) Nintendo is a Japanese company, and therefore Japan always comes first for them. 360 does horribly in Japan. Therefore I conclude that he is American-biased, a 360-fanboy, fails at researching or has critical thinking problems :/
B) He says that doing anything more than copying will ruin the system. This should speak for itself.
C) (Stemmed from B) He suggests that Nintendo will lose sales due to lack of ports. It's the opposite. One of the main reasons I haven't even considered buying an Xbox is that a lot of the 'Hardcore' games can be obtained for PC or PS3, meaning I would upgrade/buy one of those first. If I were interested in them.

I don't know, maybe I'm just nitpicking :/

He did get one thing mostly right, though. The Wii won't be discontinued, just like the DS won't be. The Wii has become to much of a name for them to just drop it. :D

...And if Nintendo names the SWCES64 the 'Wii 2' I will donate $20 to the Wii 2 blog. :D

Ugh, Pachter. I'm kinda sick of his doomsday forecasts for Nintendo. He previously promised us that Nintendo would delay the 3DS to some time in April, six months after Nintendo told us we'd have it by the end of March, as well as all sorts of other BS. I didn't think this would be worth writing a post about on the front page, as there's probably an oversaturation of Pachter on there already (no one else seems to be saying much about the Wii 2 yet).

I agree with Wertville for the most part. Nintendo know what they're doing, and copying the competition isn't their game. At this point, Pachter's acting no better than your run-of-the-mill Xbox 360 fanboy, with the difference that he gets paid to spew propaganda to bring down a product before it even, for all intents and purposes, even exists.

This guy is really funny, I see him more as a comedian than an actual video analyst. He wants so desperately for Nintendo to become something they are not. There is actually more to gameplay than graphics and online play. I don't remember Sonic 2 having only play and the graphics were as flat as a pancake but it was the gameplay that was important.

I would have to say i disagree with hime about Nintendo blowing the wii2 becuase they have given us the clear that they are making a new console which was admitted in Iwata asks at E3 saying they start on a new console after they finish the last one. So then we all get excited and give our ideas which Nintendo can then use to make the best console. So it is a good strategy. In my opinion anyway

How does he know that they blew it with the Wii 2? It hasn't even been revealed yet whenever or not it fails quality-wise or sales-wise. Patch has clearly jumped the gun here and it will come straight back at him if it turns out to be the opposite of what he predicts.

*Groan* Pachter, really? Must you insist on being the Harold Camping of video games? I get tired of Pachter's role of being the half-baked prophet, since it's probably just for publicity or money. He might be right, but it's kind of annoying to hear doomsday prophets every other day!

Why does this guy still have a job, my view of this is that it was already to late to help the wii as 3rd parties were dismissing it. So nintendo need to become a strong competitor in the next gen. Releasing it to compete this gen will only spell doom for them in the future.

I don't really take anything that Pachter says too seriously anymore. I just read what he says as a bit of light entertainment. Of course it's far too early to say how the Wii 2 will fare, so I've no idea how he came to this conclusion back in January.
