Also Nintendo is about Non-games with little substance, and only Nintendo fans like Nintendo.

Talk about the impact on PSP sales that you've seen with the recent retail success of the DS Lite.

There has been no impact on sales. We have had steady sales since before the DS Lite and to today. Looking at it objectively they've had a very successful launch, obviously, and I think they're seeing a lot of Nintendo loyalists jump back in the market and there's a lot of retail initiatives to trade in your old DS for a DS Lite. If you look at the numbers, they did very well in June. But, if you look at our numbers since launch until now, we have outsold the DS by approximately 900,000 units in North America. Statistically speaking they had a holiday head start on the PSP, so in terms who have sold more overall has been a back and forth.

What is the difference between Nintendo's and Sony's vision of where to take the handheld market?

They live in the gaming part of our competition and they have made a sharp turn to sort of the shorter Brain Age-type of games, which I think has been really successful for their consumer. I think they cater to more of the younger consumer whereas we cater to more of the older one, 18-24 target. We've had the longer, deeper software titles whereas they have gone shorter and more kid friendly. That's their business decision and they've made a successful career out of going that way and I don't expect them to change that. I think for us we can look to expand if we want to go younger and we'll certainly make titles for them as we go along.

well i dont no anbyody above the age of of 15 who plays brain age just younger kids

they have some truth to what they say and i think its the drones that r in denial to even admit that

and before i get flamed bythe drones ill add that nintendos image isnt kiddy at all and i admire the more older audienced games they put out but really we all have to admit to some extent what the majority of there games r aimed to

and all there innovations like the touch screen and waving around a remote

ive said it bfore and ill never get tired of saying it...maturity allows us to not get super hyped by touching a screen a billion times and waving around a remote pretending to kill things
