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.


what do u need the manuals for... they are pretty easy to use... I have owned 5 ipods and never really looked at one of the manuals..



Funny :D some of the usual crowd who says sales are the only solid way to measure quality are saying something entirely different now

anywho as I always Quality > Quantity

Apple games suck donkey butt imho in comparison to Sony and Ninty offerings..not even on the same league

Funny Apple use the monthly or quarter figure to make this statement, because with the same logic, Android outsold the Iphone, but that, i don't see steeve claims it. He will use the limited number in that case because they are in favor of apple.



But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.

The problem is we are saying that he is lying about the Quantity(sorry wrong word used before edit), but than again this is just Apple we are talking about. 



 

He's talking about current sales rates, not total lifetime sales.

Weekly DS and PSP sales are running around 350k per week these days.

Sales of iOS devices are running around 230k per day, or 1.6 million per week.

If iPod Touch = 22% or more of iOS sales, then statement = true.

It's really not as outlandish a statement as it sounds. DS and PSP are well past their peak, and the iPod Touch is still gaining steam as the hardware and software environment get stronger every year. One of the nice things about iterating your product every year is that saturation becomes a much smaller problem.

Edit: Sigh, fixed my use of the unsupported plus sign. No wonder these forums can be so negative.

LMAO that's hilarious. Compare an MP3 player to game systems. Oh and I highly doubt the iPod touch has sold more than PSP and DS combined.



Actualy, Iwata never said Apple was their enemy of the future.

 

The author iof the Times Online article that made that claim never even interviewed Iwata. The guy made it all up.

The rEVOLution is not being televised

k...but the ipod touch is an mp3 player...not a gaming machine....

id like the figures on the amount of people that actually bought the ipod touch for gaming. im betting the number will be far less....
