Nintendo is 'Finished,' says Final Fantasy VII Writer
The iPad The iPad has been making waves; big enough waves to worry game hardware makers. The latest in a string of comments confirming the growing rivalry between Apple and Nintendo has come from Masato Kato, the writer behind Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger and several other games.
Writing on his Twitter, the industry veteran commented, “With the iPad going on sale, the epoch of Nintendo is finished. But with the DS and the Wii, it's been digging its own grave.”
These words join a growing number of comments that suggest that Apple will ultimately destroy Nintendo’s market share. Though Reggie Fils-Aime continues to downplay the threat that Apple could pose,http://www.industrygamers.com/news/nintendo-preparing-for-all-out-assault-on-apple/
is needed against Nintendo.
The rather sobering statements made by Kato reflected a disappointing fiscal year for Nintendo. Though they’ve sold over 70 million units of the Wii and DS, but profits decreased by over 18% from last year. Nintendo is on a slippery slope, and the news of 2 million iPad sales in just over 2 months could spell trouble for Nintendo if they do not show up with something major for the changing games landscape here at E3 next month.

Those fools are still printing money from the Wii and DS sales. They never lost money on them when they started selling them and are only making more on each one sold now due to the cost of production going down. The Ipad can't kill everything. Leave console gaming and Apple products separate please 
. I played the first Mario Galaxy and this one is even better which is pretty impressive if you ask me. The Ipad will not be touching games like that for a LONG ass time. Nintendo is a long time member at the game table, Apple to me is the new girl that walks into class and everybody is looking at thinking she's will be the top bitch all of a sudden
