[OT] Connect the dots...

[Bob Sneidar]

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.
