Nintendo and Sony should be scared. The iPhone App Store has only been open for less than 6 months. This is only the beginning stage of iPhone games. It takes a year or more for developers to get the most out of a new console platform. Nintendo has never faced a competitor the likes of Apple.
(insert discussion of Sony's size, impact on gaming industry, & the opportunity it missed in the DAP market by trying to stick w/its "we create the standards" model.
Nintendo should be scared? 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.
