Nintendo Warns Of Profit Decline, Blames iPhone
July 31, 2009
"Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even."So what does this mean for Apple? Well, let's just call it another feather in their cap. Even though Nintendo has recognized Apple as the competition, and apparently so have some developers, many people still feel that the iPhone is merely just a phone with the ability to play games and not a true gaming machine. It's obvious that Nintendo isn't going anywhere, they are still the king of mobile gaming, but this is the very first time that Nintendo has actually recognized the iPhone as competition, and the best part is they didn't even mention their actual direct competitor, Sony's PSP, so we will take what we can get. Have any of you replaced your Wii, DS, or DSi with an Apple gaming device recently?
