Gotta love analysts, and how by making a "prediction", they can "potentially" ruin/affect the future plans/sales of a company. Predictions like this, potentially would create a chain reaction on what the consumers should expect the final price would be, and we all know what happens when people see something different from what they were expecting. I think predictions and analysis have become a sensationalistic business with the sole purpose to spread fear among the population, and push them to buy a certain product that they (analysts and investors) favour or find favourable to make a profit from. No wonder consumers are so confused and game developers are pulling their hairs trying to figure out what to do next. -Nintendo is in disarray because they waited too long to launch the Wii U- :S. Well he predicted that the "Wii HD or Wii 2" should have come on 2009, only 3 years after its original launch date, since the Wii came out end of 2006. In my opinion, home gaming consoles should have a longer life cycle, that gives developers a better opportunity to master all of its features, rather than changing to a new one every 4-5 years. Look at the XBox360, it was released in 2005, and still have big support from 3rd party developers, and recently they started rolling the ball on the next iteration. On a side note, as a joke, he (and comments like that) kinds of reminds me of Elliot Carver, the villain in Tomorrow Never Dies.
