Sony: "Nintendo are pansy bitches"
 
Quote:
...SCEE expects its dominance in the home console arena to drive its debut handheld system to success, dismissing the challenge of sector leader Nintendo.

“The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance,” VP of studios Phil Harrison insisted to MCV. “Those formats don’t appear in our planning. It’s not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it’s the truth.

“Nintendo knows its target audience, because it has really narrowed that down; and it’s pretty much defined by a boy or girl’s ability to admire Pokémon.

“With the DS, it’s fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen,” Harrison continued. “But I fear that it won’t have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick – so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that.”...


ooh someone is picking a fight... he's just getting nervous because of this :

A study of 1,000 Japanese PSP users found that only 10% had watched a movie on the machine. Most said they had no plans to buy any UMD movies. Less than 50% said they would use the PSP to watch video or view pictures using a memory stick. The figure drops to less than 30% among female users.

Sony will be concerned that 50% of users admitted they had not touched their PSP in "some time". 25% of male users have updated their PSP for Internet use, with only 10% of female users doing same.

So far, the average attach rate among users polled is 3.1 titles, but there is a strong brand loyalty to Sony - 90% of users say they own a PS2 with 60% owning a PlayStation. About half own a Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

and nintendo is getting nervous too... that's why they are releasing the micro, and two new colors of the sp.....I say, let the two co-exist

Lets see Sony pull off a damn good version of Nintendogs with no touch screen then we'll see how its a gimmick. I dont care if its "kiddie looking". Sony needs to drop the BS because they dont want to keep another demographic to "pwn"

Well what were they suppose to say? That Nintendo has a great new device? Come on, this is business. As if they're going to say anything but the inevitable "blah blah blah ours is better".

I hope the companies can resolve their conflicts and work towards a future of peace.
