Apple is bringing in a vast audience of people into gaming through their products, who aren’t “gamers.” They’re growing the market, but at the same time taking away those people permanently from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. These companies may be left with only the true “gamers” – a niche market.

You’re in deep denial if you don’t think that the iPhone is a formidable competitor to the Nintendo DS and PSP. Some of these franchise games are not available on the PSP or DS, and the graphics are better than the DS, while matching or nearly matching the PSP. And Besides, most of the best games are original iPhone games. Some of the original iPhone titles such as Hero of Sparta and Fieldrunners are not coming over to the PSP and getting rave reviews.

Nobody buys the i-phone for the games, they buy it for the apps, and its user friendly internet. This author is getting across the image that the reason why Apples products have fast caught up with the PSP and maybe later the DS is because of the games, sadly that is not true.

This article makes it seem like that the 50 million audience for Apples devices is a 50 million stolen from Nintendo or Sony. The vast majority of these users want the i-phone for what it was made for, surfing the internet, apps and a mobile phone.

Something that the DS and PSP dont realy care about.

i-phone games are short and quite frankly cheap games (looking at MGS on the i-phone) The i-phone dosent get A** titles such as New Super Mario bros, Advanced Wars,Star War Battlefront Renegade Squadren, Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario Kart, Untold Legends, scriblenaughts and Monster Hunter.

They get games made in half the development time of games on the DS and PSP which is one of the reasons why they cost less.

Apple people talk about the specs being equal or greater than the PSP, the PSP was released three years before.

I just cannot take the i-phone as a serious gaming product, especially with its current crop of games and it will never get THAT pokemon esc game that actualy makes handhelds worth playing.
