lol somehow when nintendo disses games for phones people seem to get deaf... the fact of the matter is that all companies try to push the idea that their product is better or more unique or original or whatever than other products out there... its called marketing

People seem to get deaf? Who are you trying to kid? Iwata's speeches explaining his stance on smartphone games caused such an immense uproar on the internet that it's unbelievable.

And people are criticizing Sony here because they used the exact same comments last generation and it shows that getting cocky is something they can't seem to get over, which is something of a major problem since it caused their crash this generation.

Nintendo actually deserves less hate for something like this because it's the first time in recent history that they were even remotely offensive. They've actually said plenty of good stuff about their competitors here and there.

Marketing doesn't have to involve trash-talking competitors, you know.

how was what was said trash talk?

the sony rep said that ( in simple terms ) the ngp is better did you expect him to say otherwise?

regardless of what you believe it is a common practice for companies to downplay their opponents' offerings and hype their own ( how else would they raise awareness for their product and gain interest? )... the same happens for example in political campaigns
