'I can't speak to the motivations of the company, as they are not a pure research firm'
Reggie Fils-Aime, the Nintendo of America company president, has cast doubts over the impartiality of a recent study that claimed mobiles are dominating handhelds.
Research published by Flurry concluded that iOS and Android control a 58 per cent majority of the portable gaming market (http://www.develop-online.net/news/39124/Android-iOS-game-sales-now-exceed-DS-PSP). It reached the claim by comparing iOS and Android-based game revenues with two aging handheld systems – the PSP and Nintendo DS.
Fils-Aime said Nintendo looks at data from a range of analysts – specifically ones which it trusts and “have a methodology that makes sense” – and explained that the Flurry study hasn’t been considered.
“Flurry is a company that consults app developers,” he told AOL (http://blog.games.com/2011/11/16/nintendo-reggie-fils-aime-interview/).
“I can't speak to the motivations of the company, as they are not a pure research firm,” he added.
