An aggressive and confident statement from Nintendo
Sorry for its a rather old article, but here it is.
Nintendo Attacks Sega, Sony, and Nokia
Nintendo is going through a change. The once kiddyish company represented by Yamauchi is now under new hardcore managment under the defiant Satoru Iwata.
Recently Minagawa spoke to the press about Nintendo's commitment to the videogame industry.
“Our consoles have never lost money,” Minagawa said, “unlike the Dreamcast and MegaDrive which never recorded a profit. People regularly predict our failure in this business, but we're still here, meanwhile Bandai, Matsushita, NEC, and Sega have all gone. We have more experience and can produce characters and games as well as anyone. Xbox has already absorbed substantial loses, and unlike Sony, Microsoft indexes its profits. The GameCube arrived in the American market 18 months after PlayStation 2, next time we'll launch at the same time.”
Later he went on to take an aggressive stance against the soon to be handheld wars.
“Sony and Nokia will launch with nothing and we will already have 60 million Game Boy Advance players. We don't see the growth of the portable market as a threat, but an opportunity. It's allowed us to cut the price of components and release the Game Boy Advance SP.”
Nintendo knows that Sony stands no chance in the handheld industry, as the only reason Sony is number 1 in the console industry, because of a horrible mistake Nintendo made with the cartridge based N64.

Taken frm a singaporean gaming forum. Well i do hope Nintendo still keeps up in the handheld category as the top brand after Sony releases its handheld system. But as for Nokia's N-gage, 2 words for it : Bye Bye
In the name of God impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal Damnation. Amen.
