Analyst: Wii U is not a next-generation console

Recently at "Tested.com" video show Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter explained why he doesn't consider Wii U as the next generation console, and also said that this is one reason why Microsoft isn't of it at all.

Pachter said that Nintendo's Wii U is an "Xbox 360 with a tablet controller and is likely going to come out at a higher price point that the 360 at the time."

Pachter explained, "And again, I take a lot of shit for this: their next gen system is a current gen system… But people who go, ‘well what are Microsoft and Sony going to do to catch up with Nintendo?’, they don’t care. Microsoft especially is not afraid of the Wii U. They look at the Wii U as an Xbox 360 with a tablet controller and is gonna likely come out at a higher price point that the 360 at the time."
