- “Looking at what PlayStation is doing, it feels very ‘Wii-too’”, he told the LA Times. “In terms of Microsoft, we'll see when they actually show off their software. I think our competitors will be challenged in a number of ways: bringing fun experiences to life, because in the end that's what the consumer wants."

- Nintendo Wii: Reggie Claims No One With A Wii Would Buy PlayStation Move

- "After 52 months in the market, the installed base of the DS in the U.S. is larger than the installed base of the PlayStation 2, at the same time frame"

- "Having talked to a lot of consumers in our market, the consumer wants to pay just once for their overall experience. I’ve heard complaints when consumers buy maps or extra levels. From a Nintendo perspective, we believe selling a game that is fair to the consumer and charging them once instead of multiple times is the best business model."

- "More and more retailers are experimenting with the used game model. We don’t believe used games are in the best interest of the consumer. We have products that consumers want to hold onto. They want to play all of the levels of a Zelda game and unlock all of the levels. A game like Personal Trainer Cooking has a long life. We believe used games aren’t in the consumer’s best interes"

Yes, an awesome list of the "smack talk" Nintendo has done. Though some of them aren't.

1. Apple is a company, but in context. This isn't smack talk, it's stupidity. It's like saying the PC isn't a viable gaming platform. iSeries uses the PC process of movement. Start technical move to other areas.

3. He actually admits it's a good game, but Sony has gone gung ho for action, shooters and other violent games. I'ts like saying Seseme street shouldn't be on the PS2 because it was the hardcore machine last gen. oh wait.....

4. That's just disgusting smack talk right there. Not only are walking the walk, they are insulting and doing bragging rights before the games came out. This is just bad behaviour as anything the others have given out even worse in some cases. booooo reggie, boooo.

7. Come on Nintendo this is a bit insulting isn't it. Do you really need to be poor winners?

1. I'd agree with this one being pretty silly.

3. He spoke on LBP before, I'm pretty sure this quote was meant to be along the same lines. The older one read like this:
"That product, I think, is quite intriguing. I'm not sure how well it will do on the Sony platform, quite frankly, but I think that the product they showed was outstanding."

4. This really wasn't smack talk. Have you seen the interview? It was just a friendly bet he made with Geoff Keighly (who kind of goaded him into it, anyway). Not to mention what he said immediately after when asked if it would be close (in sales):
"Sure it's going to be close," he said. "Modern Warfare's a great title. As a gamer, I look forward to it."

7. That was just the catchy headline, what he said was reasonable. See this (it's Reggie's first paragraph)
