Nintendo have seen their first drop in profits for nearly six years and they seem to be marking Apple as their new nemesis. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told senior executives that the company has already beaten Sony and that Apple are now their ‘enemy of the future'.
Nintendo's Wii has managed to outsell Sony's Playstation 3 by almost double but even the Wii sales are starting to drop – we assume as more people realise that High Definition graphics really shine on their new televisions. Statistics show that Nintendo have reported sales down over 20% in the same quarter this time last year.
Iwata's commentary is clearly coming from the threat of growing sales of Apple's portable range of products such as the iPhone, iPod and the new iPad. This is verified by Nintendo's own expanded gamer demographics which detail that even high school girls now say they would rather have an iPhone than a Nintendo DS.
KitGuru Says: We wonder how Apple's new iPad will be received in the Far East market? “It's A Me, Steve A Jobs”…
Nintendo are clearly crapping it due to apples success in the mobile field
This is really good to see – im not a big fan of Nintendos practices and ethics. Apple deserve the success.
I’m thinking this is more due to the fact that the Nintendo Wii has finally hit market saturation. Not a whole lot more people out there that is going to buy one, thus, sales will finally fall off and dry up.
Apple is just a shiny turd, not a whole lot else to say about it.
