Yeah but how many of those iPhone/iPod sales are actually upgrades from the older models.  I doubt the install base is anywhere near 187M.

The install base for games sure isn't LOL

Well, good for Apple, still even 300m would not kill console gaming, this people buys apps, generally cheaper ones, real gaming experiences are not there, even if some big brands are having portings of some kind.

LOL! I would LOVE to read your explanation on that one.

 

Shall I keep going? I've got PLENTY! I haven't even whipped out Angry Birds, Crystal Defenders, Dungeon Defenders, Demon Hunter, Illusia, Stupid Zombies, Plants vs Zombies, Ninjump, Super Dynamite Fishing or Spectral Souls yet.

Do you even have a smart phone? By your response my guess would be "No" because they DO offer "Real Gaming Experiences".

iPhones and Android phones have "Games" like Pilotwings too you know. Actually come to think of it, they have plenty of games like it, except they only cost $.99-$4.99 instead of $34.99-$39.99.

Yeah smartphone gaming has evolved A LOT recently. I'm an avid handheld gamer (honestly I think I prefer DS/PSP gaming to home console gaming) and play a lot of DS and PSP at home but if I'm out I just play on my Android phone now (Game Dev Story is still keeping me occupied. I have a backlog of Zenonia 2, Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio). If I have a bag with me, I'll take my PSP (a bit self-conscious being a twenty-something man with a DS Lite in public. lol. But I do love my DS Lite. It's my favorite platform.)
