In an interview with The Times, the exec claimed that the battle with Sony is "already won" and identified Apple as "the enemy of the future".
Sources close to the gaming giant describe a "mood of concern" as Nintendo bids to reverse recent dips in hardware and software sales.
The news flies in the faces of earlier comments made by Nintendo of America head Reggie Fils-Aime, who claimed that the launch of the iPad is of no concern to the studio.
Nintendo previously announced that New Super Mario Bros has now sold 14 million copies, but also reported an 18% decline in net profit for the last fiscal year. Its annual revenue also fell by 22%.
