F:After the advertisement by Sony of its portable PlayStation, the financial markets have reacts negatively on the Nintendo action. Why?
Iwata: They undoubtedly remember the time when Sony became the number one in the market of the video game with its PlayStation, whereas we were at the time the uncontested leader of the sector. That has shown whole world that it was possible to become the leader of this market from nothing and and to take risk exists that that still reproduces on the market of the portable consoles.
F:What changed today?
Iwata:We learned from our errors, while being from now on very attentive so that will make Sony in this sector and while reacting as soon as we obtain more information on the PSP. But it is nice on behalf of Sony to have informed to us 18 months in advance of its intentions. That gives us also time to prepare an answer adapted to the attack of Sony and to think of the next generation of GameBoy.
Oh how I laughed... Nintendo aren't totally stupid.

wow that was nie of them.. 18 months
I expect the GBA2 to be a mighty impressive piece of kit. Ninty'll pull out all the stops to keep them in the market they've had free reign over for so many years.
That statement has restored more faith in Nintendo for me than any other piece of news I've heard in a long time. Long live Iwata! Death to Yamauchi!
So it looks like this time Nintendo are actually going to do something to try and stop Sony monopolise the market. Whooo.
