Well from my recollection its mostly Sony that does the trash talk.

But like I said, it seems particularly odd when a wholesome company like Nintendo is trash talking.

"It's hot if it's disruptive, it's not if it's predictable."

He was asked a question he answered it. For the most part he is largely correct. The media has hyped up the iPad as a revolution and the hype machine was building for innovation. Instead they show the iPad something that will appeal to many people but after E3 was clear was not revolutionary.

He also attacked glasses I can't even get people to put glasses on for nVidia Vision(I use them). That said glasses make images darker(even in the movie theater you are losing at least 50 percent light because of the polarized filters over your eyes and the shutter(home) system does not do better in this regard.

Sony and MS would not of backed down, Steve Jobs would not of backed down from such a question and if you don't believe type in Flash Steve Jobs. So you expect Nintendo to. They gave an opinion the opinion makes sense. You do not have to agree with it. even if you like Nintnedo you do not have to agree with them all of the time. Just like if you like Sony/MS you don't ave to agree with them all of the time.

Yes, an awesome list of the "smack talk" Nintendo has done. Though some of them aren't.

1. Apple is a company, but in context. This isn't smack talk, it's stupidity. It's like saying the PC isn't a viable gaming platform. iSeries uses the PC process of movement. Start technical move to other areas.

2. Not smack talk. That's consumer behavioural observation. This could apply to movies not just video games. It's not a zing against 3d, it's will consumers want 3d glasses 3d at home. Personally I'll wait.

3. He actually admits it's a good game, but Sony has gone gung ho for action, shooters and other violent games. I'ts like saying Seseme street shouldn't be on the PS2 because it was the hardcore machine last gen. oh wait.....

4. That's just disgusting smack talk right there. Not only are walking the walk, they are insulting and doing bragging rights before the games came out. This is just bad behaviour as anything the others have given out even worse in some cases. booooo reggie, boooo.

5. Again it's out of context, but it is a bit degrading. So yeah I think it can fall into smack talk. Though it's no where saying that Move is a fad.

6. This isn't smack talk. This is the behavioural association that comes from the studies of Innovators series and Blue Ocean. Reggie was brought into Nintendo for his experience with Pepsi and his capability of Blue Ocean. He's talking about the consumers and it's valid. I'm not going to a 5 star restaurant when I wan't something quick to eat.

7. Come on Nintendo this is a bit insulting isn't it. Do you really need to be poor winners?

8. Once again this isn't smack talk. It's about consumer behaviour. It's also a bit short sighted. It's all about cost to content value. If your going to charge a lot for a game $60. Then it better be worth keeping and playing for a long time. Nintendo along with only a few companies has proven that a single solid game will sell for a LONG time without additional content. However a cheaply sold game with additional content later can make even more profits with cheap DLC. Not smack talk, but it is stupid. Come on Nintendo aren't you the company that's trying to embody that the consumer doesn't always know what it wants?

9. Again I don't see how this is smack talk. If you found a FPS that was so good that you could keep on replaying it forever regardless of console then you do. It's only because FPS don't have lasting qaulity that new editions sell so well.

10. Whers the Otaku comment? well let's just say that was a pretty damnd insulting smack in the face to consumers.

Anyways. Nintendo surely haven't been saint's this gen. Anyways great summary of questional comments.

Nintendo rarely responded to Sony's and MS' insults - "They are looking for a different market... it's outdated.. etc.."

BUT, they did trash talk about Move - "Nintendo invents, Sony copies"
If I might give my opinion about that without flamming, I think it's not a coincidence Nintendo's first "attack" to Sony in this generation to be after Sony's presentation of the Move, I think they are scared to lose a relevant % of the market to the PS3's Move.

I dont think Nintendo trash talk...They seem to content themselves by stating the obvious.

1. We have won this generation by a freakin million miles

2. Hey look everyone is copying us, how flattering

I lol'd.

That quote was NEVER UTTERED...EVER. Unless you have a real verifiable QUOTE from anyone at Nintendo saying that, this needs to be thrown into the trash. 

and me . . .

Then the thread is pointless and you also back's up what I said before, all companies can say negative thing's about their competitors and it really shouldn't matter. When company's compete in the same market, I expect them to trash talk and despite if the statement was true in the guy's 'opinion' it still should be labeled as trash talk. I'm just trying to exempt Nintendo from this godly status a lot of people seemed to give them recently, even though they have been the most arrogant in the later part of this gen.
