iPhone: The decline of the protable games market?

[averyblund]

Hardware wise I think its safe to say the iPhone is DC and PSP like with a lot more ram. Most of the games are pretty simple right now. But hey thats what happens when a new platform evolves that is based on a 9 month SDK. Devs aren't likely to just jump on an unproven platform from the get go, and we all know good games take a while to make. Still I think games like Brothers in Arms, and especially Hero of Sparta show that the system is certainly capable of running PSP/DS quality games. So far the best games have been the ones that take advantage of the unique HW and if done properly that can create a very interactive experience. Only time will tell what will happen with this platform. But I think we can all agree this is the first real mobile phone challenger.
