Iwata Speaks
Over at Spong, a well pieced article and exclusive interview with Nintendo's president can be found. The Nintendo DS is continually brought up in this with great information. Here's some of the following:Speaking of momentum, the PSP has launched in Japan though has been met with supply problems. Right now the DS is outselling Sony's machine, though whether this can this be sustained once the PSP product flow has been eased is an issue Nintendo, and its armies or spin doctors, need to address. "There are two things here you need to understand," asserts the Nintendo president. "Number one; Sales of the DS have never slowed, even with the launch of the PSP. And the second
thing is; even though Sony claims it would have sold more given one circumstance or another, the situation is pretty much similar with the DS. At various points, if we had have had more product on store shelves, we would be boasting even bigger sales than we are today. So that argument from Sony is invalid." Tough talking indeed.
Of course, there are MANY more things brought up in this fantastic interview, so without hesitation, go to Spong.com and read the rest!

Wow....what a great interview!
Unless you were being sarcastic, I'd have to agree that it's not entirely the best interview, but it does have some good points. Spong does a really bad job and over analyses the interview giving readers the wrong points.
Make your mind up!In the article you wrote "Over at Spong, a well pieced article and exclusive interview", and went on to gush about it.
I thought it was really nicely done; better than the run of the mill Q+A style. I'm sure there's stuff they can't write which was alluded to in the "over analyses" (sic). See their posts in the new story on the piece.
That will show those stupid PSP lovers! Go Nintendo!
I did make up my mind. It's a very good interview. Spong just takes Iwata's words out of context constantly. It has a lot of VERY good points.
