Nintendo VP Reggie Fils-Aime issues fight'n words

By Blake Snow

Well, not really, but in a recent interview with CNET, Nintendo Sales and Marketing VP drops some potshots on Sony and Microsoft. Here's a few of the things the big fella had to say. Fanboys, tread lightly:

  • "This industry is about entertainment, and in the end, he with the best games wins."
  • "The buzz for the DS is huge and growing, and the most anticipated handheld titles are on our platform, not on Sony's."
  • "We've shown that sports games can be brought to a new level of immersion with the [Revolution] controller."
  • "We have partners like EA and Ubisoft and Activision and THQ excited about developing for the Revolution."
  • In response to how the Revolution will sell: "We will sell more units than Xbox 360 did here in the United States in our launch window. I mean, in December, we sold more GameCubes in the United States than Microsoft sold 360s, and Revolution will do better than that."
  • "On a worldwide basis in the home console area, we are the No. 2 player. Here in the United States, if you look at today, we are the No. 3 player."
