I wonder why many Apple faithful are obsessed with what Nintendo does or doesn't do, should do or shouldn't do. Maybe they're secretly angry that the current CEO of Nintendo started programming on a Commodore PET, and not on an Apple device.
- Apocryphon 13y agoI see a lot of similarities between the two companies. A willingness to think different in pursuit of their own hardware standards and form factors (remember how the Gamecube used mini-discs and had a handle for carrying?), huge success from pursuing the Blue Ocean Strategy, the capability to inspire consumer cults (possibly because they are seen as somewhat "purer" than their competitors), and even similar aesthetics (clean off-white plastic-porcelain hardware, the lower-case letter 'i').

- fivethree 13y agoThis is an incredibly dumb assertion and you should be ashamed of yourself for making it. People make the comparison between the two because both companies have generally marched to their own tune. While their competitors obsessed over expanding the feature checklist of their devices, they worked on producing quality content on quality hardware. They were never the most advanced, but they were the simplest and most exciting.
