Well, I actually listened to the podcast and this is exactly what he was referring to. He was talking about the new DS and how he didn't see the need for a camera on it. And he didn't like the size.

The damage has already been done now for people to realize that, lol.

So he's saying that putting a camera on a game platform is pointless? I don't really see how that changes anything.

Or is it cool to have a camera on your gaming platform, cool to have Facebook functionality, but just plain silly to allow the camera to work with Facebook?

He was saying that having a camera and using it for gaming was neat, but having a camera and using it for other things on a gaming handheld device was not something he was interested in. Because he already had a phone that could do that. It was mainly about whether he should upgrade DS or not. Since he already owns one.
