Nintendo insists the iPhone isn't a competitor!

Ah, yes. Makes perfect sense. Handheld convergence being key is exactly why the N-Gage controls such a large percent of the marketshare today, and why the PSP is currently beating the DS.

...wait, that's not how it worked? Ah.

 

 

 

This is a great example of cherry picking. So because the horribly designed POS N-Gage didn't sell people hate convergence devices? Look at iPod, or phones and compare them to 5 or 10 years ago. Notice anything? Yeah they have cameras, games, video, web browsing. Look at consoles, they have similarly evolved. The point is not that the DSi is doomed without Skype. That is insane. What I was suggesting is that Nintendo should begin to build a platform for the future. Apple and Sony have started doing that, and so has Ninty. In 15 years I highly doubt anybody will be still carrying around a 1 purpose gaming device.
