Report says Nintendo looking to make Wii U a media hub, Pachter doubts game publishers will support platform
Wondering just how forward-thinking Nintendo is going to be with Wii U? Unnamed sources are stating that Nintendo has met with multiple 'top content companies' to try and put together media-related content for Wii U. We're talking about cable networks, web video content, sports, music and more. These discussions took place at the recent CES event.
Could Nintendo pull off a move like this? One unnamed source says these were just the very beginnings of talks. The discussions could end up going nowhere. Taking things further, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter doesn't think Nintendo could make a move like that. He doesn't even think game publishers are going to support Wii U.
“I don’t know if they have the chops to pull it off. I don’t think game publishers are going to support it.”
