Too many...
The consumer is the one who sets the value of anything that costs more than a penny. The consumer is getting wiser. And frankly, to me, Nintendo is still for the little kids...since when did they know anything about value?

I grew up with Nintendo, and they do publish titles that I like even though I'm older now. :p

I don't think Nintendo is jealous. Seems more like they want to control the hand held gaming industry. >_<"" They don't like that other companies publishing games and giving it out for free.

Welcome to the 21st Century Nintendo. The 90s called, they want their gaming system and business model back.

Seems like everybody is out to get Apple these days. In other Apple-bashing news, Zuora, a subscription service company which I follow, has devoted over a third of its tweets in the last month to crying about Apple. Twitter

Fear and jealousy, all around...

Nintendo just needs to jump on board and bring their prices inline more with what can be found on Android and iOS app stores. I can buy more games at a cheaper prices and be easily as amused than buying 1-2 games at the same amount on the Wii Ware store.

I'd love to see Nintendo come around on their position with the popularity of this new market.
