Sony: Nintendo is losing audience, not expanding it

Nintendo will always win in the handheld market, and Sony will always whine.

I couldn't agree more. Nintendo is the only big player still out there who keeps delivering games in the style I learned to love while growing up... 100% focus on playability and fun and not on the latest in shiny 3D visuals. What use are fancy graphics when a game itself is nothing more than the umpteenth Doom/Quake clone? I am 31, and of course I could afford both a PSP and a DS, but I am simply not interested in the former. I'm going to bag a Wii and not a PS3, that's for sure.

I also agree with that

sony is just angry because they have been sucking so much with everything. All they are trying to do is get into the teen market, but they are failing at that by making everything horribly overpriced so no teen can really afford one. Sony is eventually going to be dead in the water because all they are doing is being non inovative and copying what ever nintendo has to offer.
sony tries to give you insane graphics and everything, and that is just usless unless the game is good. They should stop worrying about having so much useless Sh*t in the ps3 and worry about the price and playability.

I had at one time considered picking up the PSP. That was before I had heard of the DS Lite. The DS seemed to big to play to me, but my Lite is perfect. Besides, the PSP has only 2 or 3 titles that I would like to play, and a soon-coming "port" of a game that I have on GBA.

With the Supercard that I have, my DS Lite does just as much, if not more than the PSP can. So what if the screens aren't as big. I take quality over quantity anyday.

Everytime a Sony executive open his or her mouth, sh1t falls out.
This is just a desperate attempt by upper management to try to "spin" the PSP's low sales numbers in relation to the fast sales of the DS.
I stopped buying Sony video games when the PS3's price was announced and one of the executives said that everyone will buy a PS3 because "it's the Playstation brand" and went on to insult their own fanbois.

I ALWAYS was a sega fan. from mega drive to the dc i got it all. (just no nomad)....well i never had a nintendo before the ds. I know lots of ppl who had a ps1 a ps2 and now a psp. They also want a ps3.
I CANT CONFIRM HIS "GUESSMENT".
I am pretty shure that many ppl bought a ds because of the "touch", and not becuase of nintendo it self. I dont think that nds owners are the gba-generation or something. And at least ds has been sold more then the GAMECUBE! So the fan community is definitly grown up. Sonys marketing strategys doesnt effect me...

EDIT: Last time i read an article about the ps3 controller. And why they hv stolen the idea.
They said in this business its not uncommon to do that. He said "PS was first 3d console and nobody was wondering why n64 has stolen the idea"....
>WELL at first Sega saturn was very first console for the home, which could render 3d in realtime.(not 100% sure, but ps1 wasnt first for sure...and think about virtual boy...many years before).
