does the ipod really count as a gaming handheld? really?
what qualifies a machine as a 'handheld gaming device'
|
For me it's a smartphone. If the Ipod/Iphone is called "gaming handheld" because it has games, every cellphone should be called "gaming handheld".
Sorry CGI, just my opinion. You are doing an excellent job man.

first of all the iPod touch can't be considered a smartphone.. Second of all you make no qualms with the n-gage being in this list.. And thirdly you just don't know:

People can make a big list of games for a simple w580... and still, it's only a cellphone.
I talked about the Ipod (and not the n-gage) because everyone was talking about the Ipod. I HAVE an Ipod touch and a n95. For me, "gaming handheld" is a handheld more focused on games, not a smartphone/cellphone that has a big list of games.

I suppose if there were a DS phone and A PSPhone they wouldn't be considered handhelds either, right? Let's just ignore all of the game they can play though..
|
My last post on this thread because I already caused a lot of troubles for CGI. Is it a gaming handheld? Because it has snake and other games:
|
It's a phone.
Is ipod touch a phone though? No. Saying iPhone doesn't count just because it has phone capabilities is just foolishness. Also it is obvious the games found in this thread http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=89891&page=1 have more complexity than snake so all that you are really doing is just trying to be a smartass.
EDIT: Truth be told I think you decided it was not a real handheld because of the distribution model, which is not fair considering the DS and psp both have their own digital distribution portals (with the psp GO! wholely utilizing this) so I really don't see where you can get off saying this..
|
Still waiting for a response. But maybe you realized you were wrong, eh?
|
I said: "Sorry for all the mess." (so, I stopped)
If it was my thread or off-topic enabled, I could argue with you all the day. You gave me the perfect answer to make me show how wrong you are here: "It's a phone." (but I won't use it because we will never stop 
)
Just to let you know how I think about it: If it's primarily a system that can make calls (Iphone) it's a smartphone/phone that can play games. If it's primarily a system that can play games BUT has skype, it's a gaming handheld. See? Skype is just a second/third function for the gaming handheld, make calls is a primary function for the Iphone.
But now I understand why Ipod was on the list. It's not a gaming handheld but it's a handheld after all, people can play games on it and if they think that Ipod is their favorite handheld to play games (even if it's a smartphone or phone) they will vote here. CGI won't add every handheld on the earth, only the most notable handhelds
