I hope there is a Kevin Butler commercial made in response to this!



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

nintendo and sony are going to end up being the loosers in the long run, since nintendo is inching closer to creating a "multimedia" handheld device.. you can't compete with apple on that front, and clearly thats what they are trying to do with DSi and 3DS.


Who says they can't? They certainly couldn't with a defeatist attitude like that.

Nintendo's multimedia is a bit of a defensive move, but they're still trying to offer unique values. The DSi lets you play around with your music and image files, turning them into a bit of a game (so do some 3rd party iPhone apps, but being integrated counts). The 3DS offers 3D photography and mobile video, which no other mobile consumer device has offered before.

Nintendo can't match Apple's online media marketplace or computer synchronization, but they can offer other unique values so that somebody who wants movies, music, and games might buy a 3DS instead of an iPod Touch.

No, leo-j. The loser is going to be Sony. Sony alone.

But they will still be the best!!

SONY and PS3 FTW!

Acronym, if you pronounce it (roffle?) -- or simply a word.  Otherwise I believe the term is initialism (initialisms are not words IIRC).

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

apple already holds 20% of the gaming market handheld wise and they aren't even trying..

They're mainly eating up PSP marketshare and non-iPhone mobile gaming market, that cost $800-900M in US the year prior to launch of AppStore.

Actually in general mobile gaming is just a bit under DS and PSP combined with around $5B in revenue last year, the rampant growth started in 2003 and was somewhere around $3B worldwide prior to AppStore launch, so smartphones though took the lead have little to do in regard to accumulating this huge number.

But the growth of mobile gaming not even in the slightest way harmed DS hardware or software sales. There was tremendous growth on both sides, handheld and mobile gaming market, the only portable console that was hit hard by growth of mobiles (as well as direct competitor, of course) is in fact PSP.

//BTW why such doom and gloom about the future of handhelds from ex-PSP supporters recently?

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
