Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime doesn’t think Apple is having any impact on Nintendo’s business in terms of hardware or software sales volume. He said “I’ve seen data that suggestions [sic] while consumers are constantly downloading Apps, they play with them for a few times and then they are moving on to the next thing. Clearly it doesn’t look like their platform is a viable profit platform for game development because so many of the games are free versus paid downloads.”
Waxing metaphorically, Fils-Aime suggests that while Nintendo’s games range between “snacks and full meals … (Apple’s) aren’t even a mouthful, in terms of the gaming experience you get.”
