Re: [OT] Connect the dots...
These journalists have to invent things to write about sometimes. What I got from the article is that the journalist was saying Apple is not a threat to Nintendo at all, because they are really producing two different non-competing products. And my take is that Apple is not producing anything in the way of end user software on the gaming front anyway. They are providing a way to get software to the end user that small developers could never have hoped for prior to the iPhone. What Nintendo should do is make scaled down versions of some of it's older more popular games for the iPhone as a teaser to get people interested in the real things. If Nintendo really does see Apple as The Enemy, then they are fools. Anyone who happens to produce a competitive product is then an enemy and I don't think that is a good way to think in the corporate world.

Re: [OT] Connect the dots...
But Apple is not the one WRITING the games. That was my point. The games are written by other developers for the iPhone. You may as well call the US Government the enemy for creating the internet, or more accurately Intel the enemy for creating a processor that Nintendo cannot or does not use. Or better yet the US Highway department for creating a freeway that does not go to Podunk NC. I suppose you could say the same thing about Nintendo since they provide a gaming platform, not necessarily the game software, but it remains to be seen how much better, if at all, the games end up being on the iPad as opposed to the Wii. I just think Nintendo needs to be developing better platforms as things evolve (I hate that word there's nothing random about the process) rather than vilify their competition. It's the word enemy that got my goat.
