With the release of Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 platform and Sony looking like its going to release a PlayStation phone, will the next gaming console war take place in the smartphone sector? If so, don’t bet on Nintendo making an appearance.
Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime told Forbes it’s much more interested in handheld consoles than it is smartphones.
“Certainly we are adding more and more elements to fill out the experience and take away more and more time from competing devices,” Fils-Aime said. “But our handhelds will always lead with games.”
Instead of releasing a mobile phone, like Sony is doing, Fils-Aime sees Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS as the epitome of mobile gaming, giving Nintendo a major competitive edge over the competition.
“3DS content will be dramatically unique to our platform, because I don’t think a smartphone manufacturer will invest to put a 3D parallax screen in their device and not have the content to bring to life.”
