Sales of iphones/touches are fantastic so far, as they sold more than the DS and PSP combined this year. And that's in it's current state, remember, ipods are always changing and seeing new versions, we'll start to see more and cheaper touches.
As for the big games, turns out Metal Gear Solid wasn't the only big announcement. Silent Hill just joined the ranks. But again, unlike gaming only consoles which have to attain a userbase (or the promise of attaining said userbase), the itouch already has it and it will only get larger regardless of whether games come or not, so who wouldn't jump all over that opportunity?
I doubt apple themselves will get in to the game developing market. They don't need to make games to push the unit.
It's a very different business model from what the game industry has seen so far, but I'm pretty sure it's going to work quite well.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
