| twesterm said: I also forgot to say that unless you know exactly what game you're looking for on the iPhone, finding games is a nightmare. Until they find a way to conveniently search and go through the app store, Apple poses no problem for Nintendo. |
I'm puzzled by this assertion and I see it made repeatedly. The App Store sorts by category, popularity, and revenue, and is fully searchable. Now Genius functionality will recommend you more apps and games based on the ones you enjoy most. Game ratings and user reviews are available right in the store, and the App descriptions are far more in-depth than the back of any retail box, complete with screen shots.
I've never had a retail experience be as informative or easy to navigate as the App Store, and it simply isn't possible for a brick and mortar store to provide this kind of service.
