Jack Tretton Calls Nintendo Handhelds Babysitting Tools

I'll join in. Uhm... I'm 30 and I play the living daylights out of the 3DS when I have the time. This was a pretty silly remark, but PR talk is just that: PR talk! I never care about it really, but this was too funny. I don't have a problem with the PS3. Not at all. I love it. But the PSP just never got my liking. Bad design and few games I care about....

Its outselling the 3DS at the moment.

* in Japan.

I think that's an important caveat.

I like my PS3, but i'll just leave this here...

I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale?

That has to be one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen anyone say ever.

Quite.
Its wrong on so many levels its hard to know where to start.
What does he think a 2GB user upgradable SD card is :?

As for the age comment, thats downright dellusional.

Another reason to hate Sony (in spite of the fact that I own two of their consoles, though I like to think of Sony's consoles as multimedia chore machines rather than gaming consoles).

Seriously, if the best that Sony and their cohorts can do is badmouth other companies without the ability to actually back up their claims, then they have serious issues. This sort of publicized bullying was funny the first time around, but it's now nothing but a cancer to the market that only backfires at Sony at the end of the day. I'm tired of Sony's goddamn PS3 ads constantly attacking Microsoft and Nintendo, to the point that I want Microsoft and Nintendo to do the same as a form of "take that" on their part.

Sony on Nintendo,
Step 1: claim whatever their doing is a gimick and will be gone in a year.
Step 2: get thrashed in sales
Step 3: Copy whatever Nintendo is doing and claim to be inivative and more advanced when compairing self to 4-5 year old competition.
Step 4: Nintendo releases new console with something they hadn't thought.
Repeat.

You forgot this:
Step 5: Riiidge Racer!

This man is incredibly ignorant. He obviously didn't see any footage or pics taken from the huge New York City 3DS launch party. It was pretty damn awesome seeing so many 20-30+ year old, old school Nintendo fans eager for it's launch. I'm 32 and can't get enought of it.

He's definitely not going to attract positive attention from prospective PS brand owners with these kinda remarks. His remarks on babysitting are ironically hilarious considering the immature nature of them.

That's only 'cause 3DS is sold out.
