If an article with the headline "Will Apple take over Nintendo?" doesn't consist of the single word "No," then it is not a piece of informed journalism at all. In fact, it's the standard game-industry bias: painting the Wii's sales as "beleagured" while ignoring the identical drops in the HD console sales, the "Wii HD" lie, and all the other crap.
Apple has no interest whatsoever in Nintendo, and vice versa. Why would they?
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
