Wii HD coming 2010, PS4 and new Xbox not before 2013
According to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, it will be four years before we see the next generation of consoles (the next versions of the PlayStation 3 (PS4) and Xbox 360) and one more year before we see Nintendo’s rumored Wii HD.
“We do not expect a “new” console in 2010 (other than the long-rumoured high definition Wii, which is likely to upgrade the Wii to current console technology),” he wrote in an industry newsletter.
“We do not expect the ‘next’ generation to begin before 2013, if at all,” he added.
“We remain convinced that the publishers will resist the introduction of any video game hardware technology that requires a refresh of software, as the publishers have as yet to capitalise on the immense investments made in being competitive in the current cycle.”
