Nintendo's Press Conference

[OB1]

No.

An exaggeration of the truth.

If we're underestimating them you're overestimating them.

Possibly, but I'd much rather be expecting the worst (Sony taking over the handheld market) and have it turn out much better than I though it would be than expect the best (the PSP failing) and having the worst happen. You see, I can only end up being pleasantly surprised while you guys will probably end up getting seriously dissapointed.

People usually buy cell phones and PDA's for their JOB.

And MP3 players? Please. Why do you think most PDA/Cell-phone/Mp3 player ads are targeted towards teens and young adults?

Sure, third parties are going to develop PSP games, but they're still going to develope games for Nintendo too.


The point I was attempting to make, which I believe you may have missed, is that although you can find some similarities between Sony entering the console industry and Sony entering the handheld industry the situations are VERY different and I just don't see a repeat happening.

I got your point, and I addressed it several times already. I see many similarities between the two situations, and think it's very naive to think that some of the same things won't happen all over again, especially since Nintendo's GBA practices are very similar to their N64 ones (high cart prices, high licensing fees, etc.)
