3DS has nothing to do with Apple

What a pathetic joke of a website.

I’ve talked to these ‘Apple analysts’ (or rather fanboys), and they are obsessed over the DS. All they can see is Apple gadgets replacing the DS. Even though sales data shows DS sales completely unaffected, these Apple people ‘imagine’ Nintendo in big fear.

What a joke.

Do you know what triggers new hardware from Nintendo? It is Sony. Nintendo will move to checkmate whatever Sony is doing.

Remember when Sony announced the PSP at E3 2005? Immediately, Nintendo churned up the DS and had it ready to show at E3 2006. And it looked pretty bad. The DS phat didn’t get much better aesthetically. But it shows the DS was pretty rushed. Remember, the DS was originally billed as ‘third pillar’ because it was designed as a response to the PSP. It wasn’t originally seen as the successor to the Gameboy Advance. Some guys at NOA tried not to abandon the GBA. They don’t work there anymore.

Remember when Nintendo announced the Wii price cut? They did so right in the middle of Sony’s press conference at the Tokyo Gaming Show (or whatever you call it).

The Wii launching immediately beside the PlayStation 3 was not a coincidence. If Sony comes out with new hardware or is about to come out with new hardware, Nintendo will put out new hardware.

When will the Wii successor come out? Well, when the PlayStation 4 does or when Sony puts out new console hardware.

3DS being a response to Apple? What are they smoking over there? These Apple clowns who are obsessed over the DS do not even realize the internal guts of the DS are almost six years old now. Six years is around the common console cycle time.

Everyone is asking the wrong question about what is Nintendo doing. The right question is, “What is Sony doing?” Sony must be doing something to cause Nintendo to stir. Iwata swore he would never let Sony release a system a year ahead of Nintendo as he believes that is what caused the N64 and Gamecube to get left behind in the dust from third parties.
