Sony director of hardware marketing, John Koller, has said that Apple's iPad will be a benefit to Sony and its PSP business.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Koller said (via Kotaku), "Apple's entrance into the portable gaming space has been a net positive for Sony. When people want a deeper, richer console, they start playing on a PSP."

On the other hand, Nintendo boss man Satoru Iwata made no effort to hide his underwhelming opinion of Apple's new iPad.

"It was a bigger iPod Touch," he said, adding, "There were no surprises for me."

I love how ironic Iwata's statement is, pot calling the kettle black, or has he forgotten the upcoming dsi XL

Nintendo isn't claiming to bring anything revolutionary to the table with the Dsi XL though. I think they fully acknowledge that it's a bigger DS.
Sony's comment is full of pure win, that was such a low blow,
