I like how Iwata always sounds like the smartphone argument is bogus. I agree.

Seriously, are these people even looking at sales numbers? And this is even coming from a Japanese analyst, you'd think they be happy. With the 3DS still doing better numbers than DS did at the same time, how can people be this pessimistic? Sure, likely it'll change after we get to the point in time where the DSlite was released, but even then, 3DS is doing very good.

And I won't even get into the FarmVille point.

The DS Lite was released March 2, 2006 in Japan -- exactly 15 months after the original model's debut.

The 3DS is about 20 months old in Japan already. It is outpacing the DS Lite... for now.
