The iPhone is not a gaming device. It's an MP3 player with a web browser and many other applications, which happen to include a few, basic, games.
If somebody wants a portable gaming console, they will get a DS (or to a lesser extent, a PSP). If they want a multimedia device, they will get an iPhone. This hurts the PSP a little, but then the iPhone is a far superior multimedia device. The DS isn't really a multimedia device at all. It is predominantly a gaming handheld, with a couple of other nifty features thrown in. Very few people, if any, will choose the iPhone over one of the gaming handhelds based on its library.
