Sony PlayStation CEO Jack Tretton has stuck the knife into Nintendo's approach handheld gaming today, stating that it is nothing more than a way for parents to grab free time for their kids, and that no adult would ever want to be seen with one of Nintendo's devices:

 

"Our view of the 'Game Boy experience' is that it's a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those," Tretton told CNN. "He's too old for that."

Gamecube had an amazing collection of games but the sales sucked.

 

Wii had by far the worst game selection in a system ever but the sales were historic.

 

Go figure. I can't blame Nintendo for changing its fanbase from hardcore gamers to casual because crappy family friendly games (besides Zelda, Fire Emblem, etc) make sales.
