I just got RE4 on Ipod, the controls are just so bad, using a touchscreen for major games is never a good idea. Either apple makes a "actual" console or they will never be considered a actual threat

Some nice assumptions right there.

Yes the consumers bought the wii because of the software, BUT that does not mean it is the best software out there - it could just be better priced, marketed etc.

Also you say they are the "best" games. In what way? The best graphics? No. Best AI? No. Best online MP? No.
The most family friendly games? Certainly, but family friendly =/= best. Mario Galazy is probably the best platformer out there, but that is where genre leading titles end on the wii. Does it have a 3rd person shooter better than Gears or Uncharted? A hack and slash better than God of War? FPS' better than Killzone, Resistance, Halo etc? What about a racing sim better than Forza? Ora beat 'em up better than Street Fighter? The list just goes on.

The wii and the PS3 are aimed at two entirely different markets, so saying Nintendo beat Sony is like saying Kia beat Ferrari as it sells more cars a year - hardly makes the kia the better manufacturer, they just appeal to a wider market.

Nintendo make games that appeal to a wider audience than the traditional console games. That does not mean the games are "better" in anyway, and if you are to claim better, it is in no technical way, and so you are only really left with saying "better marketed" or risk saying better game design, which I think we all know is a load of ass.

LOL "enemy"

Wow, that article was terrible!

The basic themes were, "this is totally what i head Iwata say" and "the Wii iz d00med"

No I say the mainstream ussually goes to what is more accesible or better marketed to them. Games like Mario Kart Wii (probably the worst in the series) and Wii Sports do that well, just like Transformers 2 does that in the movie industry, while a movie like Shutter Island is still pretty commercial (DiCaprio), it will always appeal to less poeple simply because it just isn't as accessible and there are audiences that you just can't reach with those kind of movie's.

Such creative and powerful counter arguments! You're destined to become a true leader of the people. No doubt about it.

Is ignorance better than rumored arrogance? :P

Did I touch a nerve there? Whatever shall we do.

who said anything about arguments? im telling you to stfu, spin that all you want, but it just means stfu

Well given the context of the artilce is really posing the question: What is Apple's future in the gaming market? The Nintendo vs Sony battle is really about DS vs PSP. Not about Wii vs PS3 (or 360). I think most people will agree that the DS vs. PSP battle was over quite a while ago. The only place where it's still competetive (but DS is still well out front) is Japan. And really if Nintendo keep focussing on out competing PSP then Apple probably would pull the rug out from under Nintendo and we'd see Apple to to Nintendo in the hand held arena what Sony did to it in the console arena in the PS2 generation.

Seems to me like Nintendo are learing from their mistakes of the past with their hand held strategy.

It would be arrogant and premature to make the same statement in respect of home consoles. Wii has taken out this generation, but Sony and MS are far from being beaten into submission. And Apple isn't on the horizon with home consoles. Iwata would be making a potentially fatal mistake of transferring Nintendo's attention on to an unconfirmed, possible future threat in the home console arena and not keeping focus on the existing and real threats to multi-generation dominance from its 2 current competitors.

Looks like Times online went barking up completely the wrong tree with going off on the Wii tangent.

Or do you see the iPad as an existential threat to home consoles? Seems very far fetched to hold this view IMO.
