Sorry for the lack of updates on my end (AMN) were getting pounded in the ass with traffic. I'll try to directly update to GAF since i'm having trouble with our server.
 
18.48: Iwata takes to the stage. At this point he's talking a little about history - "Company A" usurping "Company B" in the 1990s - apparently it was a comment on Coke and Pepsi and bottled water, but obviously also a comment on Nintendo using the handheld market to regroup and reconsider its strategy while Sony got going with PlayStation. Apparently the "story about Pepsi demonstrates how thinking differently and holding strongly to your strategy can disrupt an entire industry in a good way".
 
Was listening to my mp3 folder, and Emperor Palpatine's theme began to play when I read, "10:46 AM PDT- Iwata has come out." :lol
 
<li>6 million copies of nintendogs sold world wide in a year
<li>Iwata takes a stab at Sony, describing how the PS2 took 21 months to reach the 6 million mark while the GBA took only 20 and the DS an astonishing 14.
<li>Brain training (English versions) shown.
 
10:48: Talks about Nintendo's positioning in the market. Mentions how Pepsi is #1 in soft drinks worldwide by executing a disruptive strategy. Every developer understands that the three basic foodgroups are Cheetos, Dorritos and Fritos. (laughter)


10:50: The game industry is ready for disruption.
 
10:46AM - From GameDaily, "Iwata has come out. Applause." 10:48AM - From EuroGamer, "Iwata takes to the stage. At this point he's talking a little about history - "Company A" usurping "Company B" in the 1990s - apparently it was a comment on Coke and Pepsi and bottled water, but obviously also a comment on Nintendo using the handheld market to regroup and reconsider its strategy while Sony got going with PlayStation. Apparently the "story about Pepsi demonstrates how thinking differently and holding strongly to your strategy can disrupt an entire industry in a good way"."

10:51 AM PDT- Iwata talks system sales, makes comparisons
 
18.55: Iwata says he put together a task force to make a product whose appeal would include everyone from children to seniors - some of the taskforce had little experience of development. They settled on the Brain Training idea because of the popularity of books along those lines in Japan at the time - Nintendo CFO Mori-san was a big fan of them, he says.
 
<li>11:02 - Above an example of how a non game can be a tremendous hit, referring to Brain Training.
<li>11:03 - Brain Training Demo shown and game's design described to the press. Nothing news worthy as of yet.
 
19.7: Iwata says he Nintendo has fail miserably as a company and proudly announced that it will partnering with Sony. He also mentioned that the Revolution will be combined with the PS2 to create a hybrid console that plays ps1, ps2, ngc and revolution games (crowd stunned, then loud applause.)
 
11:06: Bill invites people up on stage: the director of the GDC, Geoff Keighley (G4's Attack of the Show host), and developer Will Wright. The three try out Brain Age.
 
Be a rev demo!

You fail at humour.
 
man this conference sucks

Sony's conference > Nintendo's conference

They arent even talking about games, they are ranting about educational software.

NO ONE CARES, This is GDC, guess what the G stands for? GAMES, not software like brain training.
