Branschbedömaren Michael Pachter är i farten igen, rapporterar Industry Gamers. Den här gången ger han sig på Nintendo och deras strategi för Wii 2. En konsol de redan borde ha utannonserat enligt Pachter som anser att de just nu skänker bort viktiga delar av spelmarknaden till Microsoft och Sony.
"With as much respect for Nintendo management as I can muster, I think Nintendo's completely blown it with their second generation Wii strategy. I think they have the mentality that to launch a new [console] they have to retire the old, and I think that's wrong. I think the right strategy would have been to get a second generation Wii out and keep the old Wii at the same time, and have the second generation be the natural progression upgrade model.", säger Pachter.
Han fortsätter: "You don't see Mercedes stopping production of the E-Class because they have a C-Class... So they should let people start with the Wii and graduate to the Wii 2, and have online functionality and Call of Duty multiplayer on there and compete with the 360."
"Instead, they're actually conceding that multiplayer market to Xbox 360 and PS3. They've always conceded it, but now with Kinect and Move, it's a lot easier for people to make 360 or PS3 their starter console.", avslutar han.
