That's not the point I was trying to get across. I'm saying that just like the iPhone is capable of playing games, a computer is capable of doing calculations. But a calculator is better suited (in the example provided the reason for it being better suited is convenience) to perform such a task much like dedicated handheld gaming devices backed by major publishers with development kits centered around game creation is better suited for gaming than an iPhone which has a single (fairly extensive) devkit utilized for any app created on the platform, no buttons, and not many heavy hitting games. I'm not saying gaming is impossible on the iPhone. I'm sure there are a lot of addictive smaller casual games on it that I'd enjoy myself (Homerun 3D was one I got pretty addicted to) but it simply cannot substitute a dedicated handheld gaming device for someone like me and many other gamers accustomed to fully-fledged, highly polished titles. |
fair enough. Well personally i think it all depends on the casual market - its unlikely that the "hardcore" handheld users like yourself are going to sway towards apple, but what about the other "casual" section of DS, they seem like they dont really care about major publishers (base on the attachment ratio).
