It's not our fault that companies are taking it serious.. capcom, square enix, id software, ea and a lot more developers are starting to make games for it.. so yes.. you can compare them.. The Iphone isn't that old and now we are seeing better and better games on it. Lots of nice games coming out or are out next to a lot of crap: And many more like: fifa, tiger woods, brother in arms, nova, fishing kings, cooking mama etc Developers are starting seeing the Iphone market as a better one then the PSP.. sucks for the PSP.. but that's life.. |
^This!
I sold my PSP and my DSi (gave that to my mum) and bought a 32gb ipod touch, I have had FAR more fun with it than the PSP and DSi combined, some of the games on the appstore are absolutely fantastic, the graphics make the DS look really poor and can easily match the PSP (just look at NOVA, PVZ and GTA), gameplay is superb thanks to the multi touch screen and motion control.
Games such as Plants vs Zombies, Sentinel, Creeps, SF4, GTA, FF, Need for Speed Shift, NOVA, Modern Combat: Sandstorm, COD: Zombies, Real Racing, Space Miner, Mirrors Edge, Ragdoll Blaster 2, Superfall, Chop Chop Ninja, Peggle, plus the 100's of superb indie games and all the free online games like We Rule, Godfinger, Touchpets and Eliminate, the iphone/touch is an amazing gaming device and is easily the portable gaming platform to be involved in right now, developers know this and most consumers know this.
It actually feels exciting to be involved in the iphone/touch scene at the moment, I beta test a lot of games, give feedback and see the improvements I mention get added to the final games, theres always superb new releases out everyday, some would say there is too much being released!
Then you have all the online multiplayer games and the xbox live like services such as openfeint, plus, anon and crystal, these give you points systems, achivements/awards, online leaderboards, friends lists, chat, forums, developer fan pages etc, it is superb and really feels like a mobile xbox live service.
To the doubters out there, you can doubt and brush it off all you want but the fact is this, the iphone/touch market has now surpassed the PSP market in less than 12 months, it has the most growth out of ANY portable/mobile gaming market and is set to be another record year, all the major developers and publishers are on board with the iphone/touch/ipad.
You can ignore idevice gaming all you want but it isn't going away, it's only going to get bigger and bigger! Just take a look over at Touch Arcade and see how many fantastic games are out and how popular they are, the iphone/touch has a combined userbase of 82 million which is only going to increase, that is a huge userbase in such a small amount of time!
You will be shocked to know how many people have a iphone ot touch as their main portable gaming device now, nearly everyone I speak to on twitter, touch arcade, slide to play etc don't use their psp's or ds's anymore, no need once you have a better device that offers much more!
So yup, idevice gaming is here to stay, Nintendo and mainly Sony should be very worried....
