That's all I pretty much care about. Bring the content gamers want and the money will be there.

I see Apple as a competitor to Sony, but not so much to Nintendo. The majority of the people who play DS aren't exactly the type of folks obsessed with iPhone. Reggie is right though, Nintendo has an incredibly strong 1st party lineup.
Nintendo should make some 3rd-party exclusivity deals like MS does. I remember them doing that with Resident Evil on GameCube. Capcom already seems to love the 3DS. Nintendo should cut a deal with them for rights to games like Zack & Wiki and Monster Hunter.
[QUOTE="gamecubepad"]I see Apple as a competitor to Sonynervmeister
Ironic since Apple shoved a ton of their marketing into MGS4. :P
Did they? I don't buy Apple products, so I never saw it.
With the rumored PSP/Android phone, Sony and Apple are definitely getting ready to throw down. Although, the PSPhone might just be a PSPGo with phone capabilities. We'll see.
▲ All I read was, "Ours is better, because I said so.", Also, Nintendo is the only dev to use their gimmicks innovatively, 3RD party devs never do it right. And how often does nintendo release AAA games for the wii and DS a year? Yeah, sounds like another dry system with the only good games being zelda, mario and pokemon. Which are all the same games we've been playing for years. Yawn. ▲
[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]did anyone actually think nintendo would move into smartphones?King_Dodongo
Well with the recent news of the PSPhone, some people wondered what would be Nintendo's move. sony already has a cellphone brand, so why not. nintendo would jump into a market where they aren't the ones ruling from up above.

The Ds constantly gets AAA, although its been short on them as of right now, except for Shantaes Risky Revenge which is a DSigame. The upcoming lineup for the DS is bound to bring at least 4 overall AAA games and of course a bunch of AA games.
[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] nintendo's last exclusivity deal with capcom didn't go well... *cough*residentevil4*cough*It wasn't even just RE4, out of 5 exclusive games, 3 wound up on the PS2, 1 was cancelled, and the last, only true exclusive, ended up being not so great.

Name one Pokemon game announced for the 3DS.
Dry? lol wut?
If that is true I wonder why the DS is the best selling handheld and has almost sold twice as many units compared to the current gen consoles. And the guy is right, if there is one thing that pushes units for a nintendo handheld, its Pokemon, and I am willing to bet my bed (I love sleeping) that we are going to see at least 3 different pokemon games (paired together, not seperately, such as white and black)within the first 4 years of the 3DS's life.
Lol, I dont know about other people, but I have respect for Reggie. Sure he says some things that are cocky/ stupid sometimes, but he is usually right in one way or another.

Good, the 3DS dont need no phone!!! But free texting would be nice :) And plus the phone feature is like the only new feature of the PSP2, the 3DS is still on top with analog, 3D, DS BC, and camera
