Satoru Iwata, Nintendo CEO: Apple Is The 'Enemy Of The Future' Nintendo recently suffered its first drop in annual profit in six years. So what's next for Nintendo? According to the Times Online, Nintendo is "ready to go to war" -- not against competitors Microsoft and Sony, which Nintendo feels it has already licked, but against Apple. Nintendo is "preparing to unleash the full force of its development and marketing artillery against Apple," reports the Times Online.
The Times adds, "Satoru Iwata, the Nintendo president, is understood to have told his senior executives recently to regard the battle with Sony as a victory already won and to treat Apple, and its iPhone and iPad devices, as the enemy of the future. " Just two months ago, Nintendo said that they weren't worried about Apple and shrugged off concerns about the increasing prevalence of Apple's iPod and iPhone, employed by users as mobile gaming devices, with explanations that they "know the game business, and appeal to a wide range of players, including the elderly, and both men and women.

Apple Kills Lala Streaming Music Service, But What Does it Mean? As you may have heard, Apple plans to shut down streaming music service Lala.com at the end of May, a company it purchased only recently in December of last year. At the time, speculation ran rampant that Apple was planning on using the service to launch its own streaming music venture, probably for use with iTunes and the company’s varioius iDevices. Lala features an 8 million song deep catalogue, which can be streamed by any user once for free. If you wanted to play the song more than that, you paid 10 cents and received unlimited replays.
Download purchases were also available, starting at 79 cents per track. No new users are being accepted to Lala as of last Friday, and the website will be shuttered entirely on May 31. That means anyone who paid for unlimited streaming options will also be cut off at that time. So what’s Apple’s end goal in buying and then fairly promptly killing the service? Apple is shuttering Lala.com at the end of the month, that much is inevitable.
