You're joking right? Nintendo sold over 1.5 million DS consoles in November in the US alone. The DS was released in 2004 (DS Lite in 2006). I think the last count of DS sold was above 84 million. <br><br>Yeah, Nintendo should fear Apple alright.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[phobic99]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2008 3:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple: "the iPhone is a gaming console"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/12/apple-the-iphone-is-a-gaming-console/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/12/apple-the-iphone-is-a-gaming-console/</guid><description><![CDATA[sorry fan boys this will never happen.. and i think u mean apple has never faced a company like nintendo... who had motion and touch screen gaming first lol every piece of nintendo hardware is revolutionary in some aspect save the gamecube but that was the most powerful console until ps3.. the iphone is to big with no buttons.. it wont work.. a game pad add on would be bigger than a game gear lmao and not to mention the avg new windows phone has more power more buttons and a better screen.. the iphone is great for mario kart knock offs tho... the iphone is the best ipod thats it.. its a great phone but u never see me swear my wm phone is the best music phone cuz its not yea i can do music stuff an iphone cant do but that doesnt make it better..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[celz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 12th 2008 11:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple: "the iPhone is a gaming console"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/12/apple-the-iphone-is-a-gaming-console/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/12/apple-the-iphone-is-a-gaming-console/</guid><description><![CDATA[Uh, you do realize that both touch and motion based gameplay were definitely NOT pioneered by Nintendo right?

That said, as phones become more capable, they will certainly cannibalize some portable system sales.  <br><br>There's already an audience of millions with iPhones and Touches, and trust me, there are a lot of good developers working on interesting titles for such an audience (who also prefer publishing via iTunes and the App Store to the pains of licensing and navigating publishers and retail channels).  Full-featured games like War, Inc and Hero of Sparta convince me that there are game studios that want to make serious games for the iPhone.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[EJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2008 5:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple: "the iPhone is a gaming console"]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/12/apple-the-iphone-is-a-gaming-console/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/12/apple-the-iphone-is-a-gaming-console/</guid><description><![CDATA[Apple was formerly known as Macintosh..

This has an interesting affect though, as the install base climbs and the number of developers increases, the platform may, through sheer force of numbers and convenience become a true competitor to the portable handhelds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dokmo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2008 11:28AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
