Echoing the forecasts of simExchange’s Jesse Divinch, Michael Pachter predicts that holiday sales will be led by the Nintendo twosome, the Wii and the DS. Not only that, he also believes that the video game industry will be at an all time high for the season.

Pachter, an analyst for Wedbush Morgan, believes that the industry will be up by 15% not only in hardware but in software as well. Pachter expects that the big winner for the Christmas period would be Electronic Arts.

However, commenting on which game would be number one for the holidays, he states that it all depends on when you start counting the numbers. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock would win he says, but Halo 3 would have a shot if we take September’s numbers into account.
