A recent New York Post story claiming that Apple and Nintendo are headed for a "showdown" in the portable gaming market has been rubbished by a leading analyst.
According to the story, Apple has been secretly plotting its foray into portable video games for months, looking to add games to its iPhone. Rumour has it that the company has already provided a major game developer with iPhone technology, and that Apple is expected to make a gaming announcement in the near future.
However, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter told GamesIndustry.biz that he doesn't think Apple is serious about gaming. "Rather, I think that they're trying to establish the iPhone as an all-encompassing entertainment device," he said.

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
Wow, This guy should get the "Dumbass Analyst of the Year" Award. How do I get a job making stuff up and claiming it's fact? These guys are worthless.

Was it ever meant to compete with the DS?
