Nintendo World Report, January 6, 2008 - Carmine "Cai" M. Red:
At the 2007 Game Developer's Conference, Nintendo President and CEO Satoru Iwata said that his company had designed the DS to reverse a market decline that was driven by negative public perceptions of gaming. He added that the idea behind the Wii was to create a new gaming lifestyle in which family can come together to laugh and converse.
In order to expand the market, Nintendo aims to produce software for family activity. Accordingly, Nintendo's designer Shigeru Miyamoto uses his wife and Iwata uses mothers to predict how successful Nintendo's games would be.
Iwata also commented on the comparisons between Nintendo and Apple, and on being the first Nintendo President and CEO not related to the Yamauchi family that founded the company.

Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.
Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.
Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
nintendo is using innovation to stay ahead and thats the new age
