| Cheebee said: Yes parents think a $250 3DS/Vita is too expensive, but will gladly buy their kids a $600-$800 iPhone to play games on! A controller-grip-add-on for iPhones is certainly going to kill of dedicated handheld gaming, confirmed. |
Parents don't buy kids $600 iPhones. They buy them $200 iPods or they give them their two-year old iPhones when upgrade time comes up, phone contract entirely optional. The kids like them because the games cost 90-100% less and because the devices have vastly superior internet and social media capabilities compared to gaming handhelds.
It's not hard to imagine a kid who just got an iPhone 4S hand-me-down asking for a controller peripheral for Christmas.
