I suspect this is both a defensive action against the iPhone by again defining the DS as a system which has capabilities for gaming above and beyond what a phone hybrid application can do and an aggressive action to move upstream and take whatever core market they can from Sony and perhaps its an attempt to go as far as to eliminate them from the market.

I think this post is a valid point that shouldn't be glossed over. One of the thing that Iwata has said before is that Nintendo WILL compete and defend it's "turf" He was especially sayin' this after E3 oh'9, when Microsoft, and Sony introduced their motion peripherals.

...Seeing the iPhone as a "threat", I can see Nintendo again looking to "disrupt" the market again.

Thanks for the compliment.
