Sony: Nintendo Handhelds Aren't for Self-Respecting Adults

this just in: a representative of Sony doesn't like products created by competing brands.
In other news: Sony representatives often behave like spoiled children.

The NGP is gonna kick ass, and when my must have games come out for it, I'll certainly be getting one. But man, Tretton, don't start talking shit about your competitors. Seriously, don't bring yourself down to the asshole level of Steve Jobs.
if playing pokemon white on my wife's pink DS (mine broke) makes me a self-loathing 30 year old man. Then By golly I'm proud to be one.
As a side note, never trust anyone who is telling you what the real/cool people are doing and are also trying to sell you something.

I think it's because the heavy hitters of Nintendo are all rated E for everyone and kid friendly, whereas most of what are considered the big Sony games are Mature titles which are not kid friendly. Look at the playstation exclusives compared to the Nintendo main franchises.Tom Goldman said:
I'm not saying that older people don't enjoy Nintendo products, they obviously do, but Nintendo games are catered in such a way as to appeal to younger audiences.
Whereas games like Grand Theft Auto, Heavy Rain, etc are not meant for children.
Wow. Kinda sad, to hear this. If the DS is a 'kiddie toy', as he seems to be implying, why has the DS utterly crushed the PSP in the handheld market? The fact is that Nintendo has managed to court more developers to make more games for the DS, many more than the PSP, which is good for little more than a crappy media player now compared to the DS. Oh, sure, there are games on the PSP that are good, but the number of good games on the PSP pales in comparison to the sea of A ranked games on the DS.
I am 21 and I play a DS. I'll keep my DS over a PSP any day; there are more games on the DS I enjoy than there are possible games on the PSP that I would want.

Damn... Sony can bash their opponents, but this whole "X is only for kids" thing just outright pisses me off.
I can sit in a busy public place playing Hello Kitty on a pink GBA, as long as the game's fun I don't give a crap. That doesn't mean I have no self-respect, it means that this Tretton guy is an insecure asshole.

This, basically. It's a crazy inflammatory state that I couldn't agree with less. But I mean, as denizens of the internet, shouldn't we be used to this by now?GeneWard said:Ahem.
GENTLEMEN?
Is Sony going with the "Paris Hilton" advertising?
I mean, they try to look as retarded and stupid as possible.
At least they are loyal to their lately image. Idiots who makes gamers look bad. Just a bit more and they are in the "EA" category.

ITT: people less angry at sony for directly insulting Nintendo and the people who play their games than they are at david cage for saying games need to innovate [/minor rant]
Seriously this was a stupid thing to do. What did they hope to gain by making this comment, I seriously don't get that? This is not professional wrestling. Trash talking is not to your benefit.
