Did Nintendo not get the memo with all of those quality SONY 1st party titles coming out for the PS3 and PSP?

It's just a bit bragging for the stockholders. I'm sure you wil find it in other financial reports.

But there is some truth in their words. Nintendo's Ip's are one of the best franchises in the world. If i owned them, i would boast about them to everyone.

It's their financial report they're going to say whatever the shareholders wanted to hear. I don't know why people get to angry at this, every company do the same

Nintendo is the only actual videogame maker and Sega still makes their games. Microsoft and Sony don't.

I wonder if that's a mis-translation but it sure sounds like an arrogant statement to make. MS barely has any inhouse development left but there's no denying Sony's.

Oh, Nintendo's always been kind of an a**hole, and likely always will be. But recently, they've been above this kind of crap, and I was hoping it would stay that way.

You won't even have to look in financial reports: Sony's and Microsoft's executives have routinely made idiotic statements like these without prompting. And I whole-heartedly agree that Nintendo's IPs are overall the best in the world, which is why I keep buying all their products.

But there's a fine line between bragging about how awesome you are, and indirectly slinging mud at the competition. I feel that they crossed the line this time, and while it's hardly the end of the world (it's more a throwback to the Yamauchi days, if anything), I have to admit that I'm still disappointed that they lowered themselves like this. I was hoping that at least one of the big three would try to take the high road and act like an adult.

P.S. Welcome to the site! I just noticed that you're new.

Agreed in full.

Here. This way it sounds better.

I love how people are defending Nintendo for this statement but if Microsoft or Sony were to say this all hell would brake loose. Plain and simple this is Nintendo trash talking like the other 2 do, and after everyone thought they were too high and mighty for it.

If that's the most inflammatory comment we get from Nintendo all year then you'd have to be impressed with their restraint. Plus having worked in a foreign country for 5 years i always dubious about translations, no matter how good someone is, subtlety is often lost in translation. For example the word powerful in that last sentence seems like an odd choice.

Which is great, except we aren't talking about talented developers, we're talking about powerful developers.

With the exceptions I listed above, no other in-house team really has the ability to shift the console wars like some Nintendo ones can.
