Pachter: Natal, PS3 MC won’t topple Wii

Missed our favorite analyst, Michael Pachter much? Don’t worry, he’s back, and he’s got more than two cents in opinion on the event that he predicted dead last year, E3 Expo. This time around, he zooms in on the highlights of the Expo, the new motion controllers of the big three. His verdict: No Natal nor PS3 MC will topple down the great, big Wii.

Missed our favorite analyst, Michael Pachter, much? Don’t worry, he’s back, and he’s got more than two cents in opinion on the event that he predicted dead last year, E3 Expo.

This time around, he zooms in on the highlights of the Expo, the new motion controllers of the big three. His verdict: No Natal nor PS3 MC will topple down the great, big Wii.

So he said:

Sony and Microsoft each fired canon shots across Nintendo‘s bow, with Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s Motion Controller (based on the EyeToy). We view Microsoft’s proposed offering as intended to provide a user-friendly interface for Xbox Live dashboard access, and view Sony’s offering as Wii-nis envy. We do not expect either to displace Nintendo’s Wii from its leadership position.

Admit it, you did miss him after all.

• Tetris creator on Project Natal: It’s a very right step in a very right direction
• E3 2009: Aaron Greenberg thinks it’s nice that the Wii and the PS3 are sharing the space, but Natal would leapfrog over them both
