"We therefore think it is likely that the 'next' generation will begin after 2013, meaning that software sales are likely to grow by a compounded annual rate of 6?10 percent for another five years... ...We do not expect a "new" console in 2010 other than the long-rumoured high definition Wii, which is likely to upgrade the Wii to current console technology" - Michael Pachter
