As someone who bought an iPhone to play games, I'm going to have to say this simply won't matter. The iPhone is terrible at playing "core"games because it lacks buttons, and no amount of tech in the system will overcome that fact (unless it gives feedback that tircks people into thinking people are pressing buttons). The fact is that to play a Call of Duty on iPhone means to have a large part of the screen covered by your fingers anyway, and you don't even know what you're pressing until you've done it to boot. iPhone just can't provide the same experience as a system with buttons due to a lack of contectual feedback, and so it won't compete well with such systems. Apple may steal some sales away, but only so far as a fallafel stand will steal sales away from the hot dog vendor. Anyone who wants more than a casual experience isn't going to rely on their iPhone.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
