I et interview med Gamasutra siger manden bag Nintendo 3DS, Hideki Konno, at man ikke er interesseret i at tage kampen op mod lavprisspillene på de populære smartphones.
"So now in terms of one dollar games, or free games, or whatever that is out there in the market, I mean, really, we're not going to be competing with that. We're not going to try to match that; we're just going to continually strive to not just maintain, but increase, the quality of the entertainment that we're providing, and let it sort itself out.", siger Konno.
Konno mener enhvidere at Nintendos holdning til situationen deles af både Sony og Microsoft:
"Again, we're not worried about competing at a price point level. I believe that's more than likely Sony and Microsoft's opinion on that as well".
Til slut fortæller Konno hvor han ser problemet for spilmarkedet på smartphonesne, og samtidigt hvor han mener et firma som Nintendo kan have en fordel:
"And I'd be really excited to see a great game at a really cheap price, but I just don't think that you could make a game that's immersive and as big as, let's say Call of Duty, or any other large title, and sell it at that price point; it's just not possible."
