Some analyst says Wii U is not a 'next generation' console

Michael Pachter said in an interview published yesterday with Industry Gamers.
"The Wii U is a pretty ambitious undertaking," Pachter told Industry Gamers. "It's a new console, with new controls and architecture, but it's not quite 'next' generation. Developers have to contend with differences between the Wii U and current generation consoles, then have to figure out what to do with the controls."
According to Pachter, the Wii U will be home to "no significant third-party 'exclusives,'" and instead, will simply get games from developers that are ported from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Nintendo's decision to release a new console next year is somewhat of a surprise, since the company's competitors are reportedly not planning to release new hardware until 2014--when, some believe, the true "next generation" will begin.
The issue for Nintendo is that the company's current-generation device, the Wii, is behind the curve. Although the console has sold extremely well over the years, it lacks HD graphics and the graphical sophistication to compete visually with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. With the Wii U, Nintendo is addressing that problem with HD graphics and better internal components, but there is some fear that the device's visuals will only match those of the consoles already on the market. I know people out there don't know there more to video game then just graphic look at Angry Birds. This is just one person also alot of these so called analyst said the same about the wii and that did really well.
