Hes a smart man. Those were great answers to the questions, and I like the way nintendo looks at things. They seem to take everything in and not get stuck up or too focused on one item.

he spoke the truth.Apple iphone as a lot more competition on their own thanks to the upcoming PSP Phone (apple, brace yourself) and Microsoft itself. Iphone users wanting meatier games now have a choice.In the meantime DS has nothing to worry about it, because it fought the PSP for years.In the gaming market, its the winner.In the cellphone market, there will be another clash , exclusively between Sony and Apple.Now thats the issue to look foward.

That is why whenever Nintendo decides to introduce its next console its going to blow people away and I cant wait.

Forbes: So what do you think of apple?

Reggie: apple who?

Meh interview. It felt like Nintendo wrote the questions for the interviewer and spent days formulating perfect responses. Reggie is a human being but he came off like a well oiled PR machine with zero personality.  It read more like a press release than a genuine interview imo.

He gave a lot of good answers, especially on Apple. It's obvious that they haven't directly impacted the DS (it's not so clear as to whether apple has impacted the PSP).

However, I think what Apple's platform is doing is hitting a lot of non-gamers before Nintendo gets a chance at them. Apple's platform isn't as well-suited to children as the DS is (though there are quite a few iPod Touches in the hands of older children), so the DS still pulls in a lot of customers there, but the iPhone and iPod Touch are well-suited to the growth demographics of older adults and women.

So what happens when the iPhone and the DS platforms run out of new users to bring in?
