The only thing that really matters here is that the interface of the iphone and ipod touch is just ridiculously poor, and will make half the genres in gaming (FPS, Platformer, Action-Adventure, any RPGs but turn-based, anything that requires precision like an RTS and SRPG) completely unplayable and invalid.
People call(ed) the Wii and DS gimmicks, but they can play every genre in gaming. This is not in any way true with the iphone and ipod touch, and they will be little more than cute distractions in the market if that. They have no more effect on the actual gaming market than the millions of crappy cell phone games have in the past. Now they are just crappy cell phone games with prettier graphics.
