| FreeTalkLive said: Of course, you can buy PSP games online for a lot less than the in store games. The same will be true for the DSi with several games priced at $5. |
But you have to buy the DSi or the PSP to play games. A lot of people buy the ipod touch with no intention of playing games and just end up doing it because its so cheap/some of the games are so good.
Handhelds more or less require that you want to game to buy them and try the games out, the ipod/iphone gets people who would never buy a handheld in their life to game (like my sudoku playing mom who hasn't played a video game since the atari when she was in her 20s).
There are dozens of reasons people buy ipods/iphones that have nothing to do with gaming so gaming kind of rides along. The PSP to some extent and the DS entirely depend on people wanting to buy the handheld to game so its not going to attract many people outside the already predisposed to gaming demographic.
