Pachter’s predictions for Nintendo’s E3 – Project Cafe launch and more
The following predictions come from Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter…
- Hardware and a bunch of titles at E3
- Many games since Nintendo hasn’t shown much this year
- Date for Kid Icarus: Uprising
- Last showing for Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Nintendo will probably say that they’ll have a Mario title at Project Cafe launch
- Pachter believes the Vitality Sensor is dead
- Pachter echoes IGN’s report of Foxconn beginning production in October
- believes Nintendo could produce one million consoles per month
- Japanese launch for Project Cafe in April
- Nintendo could stockpile systems and launch simultaneously in September
The only one I don’t agree with is that the “Vitality Sensor is dead”. I think that it is still headed to Wii and will give the system life support until Wii 2 (Project Cafe) is released.


I forget where I read it, but what about that one article that predicted if the vitality sensort doesn’t appear for Wii, it will be integrated into the Cafe controller. Imagine?
