Ill blame SethNintendo because he did it first.  These threads are annoying though, and not because of the articles are horrible.  Because the titles.  Leave the titles the way they were and let people make their own decisions instead of changing it to fit your preference.  Make a comment or something saying you think it is horrible but we dont need a ton of threads to start doing this title thing (Ugh it is horrible).

Say Jay what do you think about the article? :O

The article highlights Apple's success and is using it at a disadvantage for Nintendo.  It is right in the sense that Apple can effect Nintendo but ignores that Nintendo's games have a bigger impact than mobile games.

Yes some games will be a success on mobile devices but Mario, Link, Pokemon, etc is iconic.  They stick in people and children's minds more.

If Apple were to be the final nail in Nintendo's coffin they would need to make more iconic games.  Can't just rely on Angry Birds.

Apple is a huge company and has been successful with games so it would also be odd to say they are not a threat to nintendo.  They just arent the death of nintendo like the article says.  

Any company can die and that includes MSFT/Sony/Nintendo.  New competitors can join just like MSFT did 10 years ago, or nintendo decades ago.  Look at Sony now, came out of nowhere in the 90s.  So I would never say that Apple cant, i just dont think it is very likely.

Short version:  The article has some valid points but I dont agree with it either.
