Don't know if it's already posted, but another bold statement from Apple.

Apple claims 50 percent of portable gaming market, iPod touch 'outsells Nintendo and Sony combined'

By Sean Hollister posted Sep 1st 2010 1:26PM

Nintendo famously called Apple the enemy of the future in the video gaming space, and by golly, it looks like the Japanese giant was right; Steve Jobs just told an audience that the iPod touch alone outsells Nintendo's DS and Sony's PlayStation Portable combined, worldwide. How many games iPod touch users actually play and for how long wasn't discussed, but Jobs said 1.5 billion "games and entertainment" apps have been downloaded -- again, on the iPod touch alone, never mind all those iPhones.

Update: As many fine readers have suggested in comments, this particular statistic seems a little hard to swallow, given that the Nintendo DS alone sold roughly 132 million units -- a good bit less than the 120 million iOS devices Apple claims, and only some of which are iPod touch -- as of the Japanese company's July earnings report. We've contacted Apple for clarification and hope to be able to explain the discrepancy soon.

I'm also going to make a claim.

Apple, your MANUALS SUCK A HORSES ASS!

Someone seems to have been on the moon lately. Nintendo soundly stated some time after that statement was made that it was nothing but a lie from journalists. Also, just because it has games, doens'tr make it a gaming machine little Stevie. My DVD player plays games too. The device isn't selling because of it's games (if it had, it would have PSP Go like sales) but because it is and portable computer. Too bad even he doesn't seem to get it.

i dont think he is joking... lol im sure there is more than 4 times the amount of ipods (in general) than psps and nintendo DS's.... who doesnt have an ipod?...

I don't. But my sister does. and every ipod she has gottens manual is a piece of friggin crap.

Well outsells to me implies that currently each week the ipod touch is outselling the DS and pss combined, it doesn't seem to mean that its outsold them overall.

If thats true, then thats crazy.

Hmm, this from a company whos logo used to be:

A RAINBOW Apple with a bite taken out of it.

Im just sayin...

Budweiser ousell Apple, Nintendo and Sony combined,

Is that a name?

Apple lies all the time, they also make mediocre overpriced products.
