Just a month
after Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime claimed
that the iPhone OS (you know, that operating system used on the iPod
touch, iPhone family and the iPad) wasn't a "viable profit platform for
game development," along comes the company's president to say that, in
fact, Apple is the primary "enemy
of the future."
That's according to
Times Online, who says
that the Big N's CEO (Satoru Iwata) feels that the battle with Sony is a
"victory already won," and who clearly believes that the next wave of
gaming won't be of the traditional sit-on-your-coach-and-slam-buttons
variety. 'Course, the PSP never has been able
to hang with the DS family, but even the
Wii has a ways to go before it catches the mighty PlayStation
2 in terms of global sales.
Going forward, the company is
purportedly looking to revive the element of "surprise" in Nintendo
products, but it might be best served by simply catching up to the
competition and supporting this wild concept known as "HD
gaming" over "HDMI."
