Apple's Tim Cook Meets Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto During Japan Visit

[Veinticinco]

Tim Cook is CEO not head of hardware engineering.

Fish rot from the head.

Why are people complaining that Tim is abroad? He's making connections with other companies and it's not like Apple stalls while he's away on business. Apple runs fine without him having to be in the office. Do people think that Apple, its designers and engineers can't do a single thing without the CEO? This is post-Jobs and I think people have a bit more independence and Tim relies on that to keep the Apple machine running. Just because it's not front page news doesn't mean Apple isn't developing in the background.

yes he is running a 300 billion dollar company from overseas over FaceTime...this is why apple is failing

And yet your God Steve jobs felt Tim Cook was the right guy to lead Apple as CEO.

Steve Jobs also sought out and hired John Sculley, and we know how tht turned out. He has made questionable hires and leadership selections in the past. Regarding Sculley, he even said in an interview, "I hired the wrong guy.".

I can see it coming... Apple will release something similar, because "just like Ping" it's going to change the world...

Since Cook has been ru(i)nning the show; these companies are made for each other. Nintendo stopped being cool the moment they released the Wii - AKA; stopped innovating and started producing con-artist products.

Just for comparison, some time later in 2011 Sony released the PS Vita. It features a Cortex A9 with up to 2 GHz, a half GB Ram (four times as much as the 3DS) and a resolution of 960x544 on a 5" multi-touch Oled screen (3DS is just 3" and single-touch) powered by a quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP4. If that sounds familiar to some, it's pretty much the same hardware that's in the iPad 2, see here.

Yeah the Vita may have been far more powerful than the 3DS, but we all know who's on top in terms of sales and available games between those platforms. We know which console developers choose to develop their games on between those 2 portables. Specs are one thing - different games and gameplay experiences are another, which is the reason the 3DS is still kicking strong and the Vita is, well, non-existent.
Nintendo has proven that provinding the right type of game on a portable is what gets people to buy their hardware, not specs, which you clearly seem to be fixated on. If their Game Boy hardware lineup through the years was so "crap" in your eyes, why did people continue to buy them? Maybe because they wanted to play the games available on the underpowered game boy? Who knows right?
Underpowered or not, Nintendo's hardware is where you'll find their unique games which anyone can play. (Not just children...)

As for them releasing Mario and Pokemon games on mobile platforms so they can "stay alive" is laughable. Their strategy is to give all those mobile players a sample of what you can play on their hardware and entice them to migrate over, but whether that works remains to be seen. The Wii U has been a disaster for them, but even so, Nintendo isn't going anywhere despite what people think... http://sourcegaming.info/2016/06/02/quick-analysis-nintendos-major-bank-account/
