'We don't care what our competitors are doing, we don't care what the wider entertainment industry is doing'

If that's true, that's such a terrible way for a company to run itself


Yet, they implement HD graphics, touchscreen, more online functionality and 3D in their present and near-future devices... I smell bullcrap from Reggie.


lol with that logic they should have stayed in the NES era


Of course things need to move on without the need of them caring what others are doing. you don’t do things just because you care of what others are doing but because you want to continue evolving for your own sake

People like to twist Reggies words to make them look bad yet what he means is that they like to do things their own way.

Reggie what happened to you?!  

Evolving is fine, being against tech simply because others use it is not. Perhaps they should focus more on "we implement -insert tech or feature- because" rather than "lol, -insert tech or feature here- is silly and/or not needed". It makes them look arrogant and silly (especially when they suddenly offer the same themelseves), especially Reggie gives Nintendo a bad face in my opinion.

I don't know why a lot of people seem to believe that;

A: Nintendo cannot be arrogant, after all, they make different consoles and games!

B: Nintendo are immune to mistakes and declines.

People love to use history to show how Wii tracked above the PS2, how a market leader is always followed by another market leader etc but seem to forget that points A and B are utterly and completely false according to history.

If and when MS and Sony make announcements that seem strange the reaction is mostly; "Lol, what the hell are they thinking!?" while Nintendo gets more of; "They know what they're doing, you don't get to be market leader by being an idiot". Reggie gives the air and body of the latter sentence and is percieved (rather correctly) as a somewhat arrogant know-it-all with a bad attitude and complete lack of respect for the competition.
