Does the iphone have many games that you could consider on par with the average retail PSP games for example? You know, enough content to justify a retail price, that sort of thing?

I haven't got an iphone, and I don't know much about it's games, but the only ones I've seen are more like WiiWare games than anything else.

Can anyone answer my question?

The reason I'm asking is because if the answer is 'no', then creating a fully featured GTA for iphone would be a huge gamble, not only do you not know if iPhone has a market for GTA, you don't know if iPhone has a market for packaged-standard games at all, and GTA games are generally expensive projects even for packaged-standard games. It probably does, but making GTA is a very expensive way to test the market.
